Abstract:

An adaptation has been made of the Benesh Movement Notation, widely used to record dance movement and routine, to study the movement and posture of sitting subjects. In describing this development, this article shows how the notation can suit the special needs of an individual research project.

Normal and Tangetial Components: Problem Solving

Consider a man with a mass of 70 kg seated in a chair connected to a pin support through a member BC. If the man maintains an upright position, the task is to determine the horizontal and vertical reactions of the chair on the man when the member makes a 45° angle with the horizontal. At this moment, the man has a speed of 5 m/s, increasing at a rate of 1 m/s².
