A 75 kg man's arm, including the hand, can be modeled as a 79-cm-long uniform cylinder with a mass of 3.7 kg.
In raising both his arms, from hanging down to straight up, by how much does he raise his center of gravity?
Stand with your heels and back against a wall and try to bend over and touch your toes. You’ll find that you have to stand away from the wall to do so without toppling over. Compare the minimum distance of your heels from the wall with the distance for a friend of the opposite sex. Who can touch their toes with their heels nearer to the wall: men or women? On the average and in proportion to height, which sex has the lower center of gravity?
