Question

1. Compute the CoM for a segment with the coordinates: proximal end (5.99, 7.80); distal end (2.09, 3.15). Assume the CoM is 43.7% of the segment length from the proximal end.

2. Compute the total body CoM given the following CoM segment parameters:

segment 1: 3.2kg, (10.42, 6.71)

segment 2: 2.6kg, (12.35. 5.94)

segment 3: 9.4kg. (8.66, 9.13)
