You are tasked with designing a simple wooded step ladder for use in a home. It's a three rung/level ladder with 70cm being the height of the highest rung/platform. The middle rung is 46cm off the ground and the lowest rung is 23cm off the ground. You are required to submit an anthropometric analysis of this step-ladder that would be used to determine the dimensions like step width, thickness etc. Give brief explanations for each selection of your anthropometric values
The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown.
The volume of the ligament stays the same as it stretches, so the cross-section area decreases as the length increases. Given this, how would a force F versus change in length ΔL curve appear?
