During a frontal automotive collision, you are at risk of hip fracture or dislocation when your knee hits the bolster. A study showed that during a crash, the load applied to each knee was 3600N, applied at a 15-degree angle to the thighs (see figure). You are analyzing an occupant to determine what the reactions at the HIP are from this knee impact. Knee Angle Bolster-to- Femur Angle Torso Knee F 15 Shank Hip Figure: (Left) how the knee bolster applies load to the knee. (Right) a schematic showing the orientation of the force vector (15 degrees from the long axis of the thigh). Your occupant weighs 68 kg and is 173 cm tall. a) Calculate any relevant anthropometric values for your occupant. b) Draw a free body diagram. c) Assuming the impact is static at the moment of load application, calculate the reactions at the hip. Input the Rx, Ry, and M at the hip into the quiz on Avenue under Problem 2. During a frontal automotive collision, you are at risk of hip fracture or dislocation when your knee hits the bolster.
