load * load arm = effort * effort arm
mass needed= m
15.5*35.5= m*76.5
550.25=m*76.5
550.25/76.5=m
m=7.19 kg
HENCE THE MASS NEEDED IS= 7.19kg
Calculate the mass m needed in order to suspend the leg shown in the figure(Figure 1) . Assume the leg (with cast) has a mass of 15.5kg , and its CG is 35.5cm from the hip joint; the sling is 76.5cm from the hip joint.
