ASSIGNMENT

Part 1: The human body At the end of this lab, you will find a picture of skeletons posing. For this picture, find the Humerus, Radius, Femur, Tibia (both left and right sides). Treat each bone as a vector beginning at one joint and ending at the other (you can choose, but be careful about negative signs). Then find the x and y components of each bone vector in units of centimeters using a ruler. Once you have the components, express each vector in (i,j) notation. Lastly, once you have each bone in vector notation, find the magnitude and direction of each bone vector. You will have a total of eight vectors that you will submit, along with your notes and calculations.

Part 2: The Animal Body Now you will go online and find the skeleton of your favorite animal. Could be a horse, dog, cat, dinosaur, etc. Then print out a picture of its skeleton and repeat the process from Part 1 for that animal skeleton finding the position vectors for any four bones. If you simply do not have a favorite,  Included the picture of a dinosaur skeleton which you may use.
