Question

What are some possible causes of the difference between the location of the relative COM between males and females?

Answer 1

COM (center of mass is a point at which all the weight of an object can be assumed to be acted).

1. Women are shorter than men- about 9% on average.

2. Males bone are stronger/heavier than women.

3. Skull larger in men.

4. Male shoulder higher and wider.

5. Female pelvis wider. for adaptation of childbirth.

6. Males arms are longer.

All these factor distributed mass differently in men and women and hence there is difference in COM.

I will be glad to see your comment if you have any query and thumb up if you are satisfied. Thanks....
