What is the Method for Finding Joint Range of Motion?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the range of motion (ROM) for the ankle, hip, and knee joints using degrees and time, one must analyze the provided scatter plot data. The degrees indicate the extent of movement, while time may help assess the speed or efficiency of that movement. Calculating the ROM involves measuring the angles at which each joint moves from a neutral position to its maximum extension or flexion. Understanding the relationship between the degrees and time can provide insights into joint performance. Proper analysis of the scatter plot will aid in visualizing these relationships and deriving the ROM effectively.

Hello All!
I was wondering about how to find the range of motion of specific joints with the only given "hints" being degrees and time (in seconds) of the ankle, hip, and knee joints. Also a scatter plot. I am aware that I have to use the degrees of each joint (perhaps finding , however I do not fully understand how to go about the problem. Any help or hints would be much appreciated! Thanks! :)

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
