Question

1. A therapist tells a 70 kg patient with a broken leg that he must have his leg in a cast
suspended horizontally. The leg should be supported by a vertical strap attached at the
center of mass of the leg (The cast system). To comply with these instructions, the
patient consults a table of mass distributions and finds that both upper legs/thighs
together account for 21.5% of body weight and the center of mass of each thigh is 18
cm from the hip joint. The patient also reads that the two lower legs are 14% of body
weight, with a center of mass 69 cm from the hip joint. The cast has a mass of 5.4 kg,
and its center of mass is 78 cm from the hip joint. How far from the hip joint should
the supporting strap be attached to the cast ?
