KIN 6015 – Biomechanical and Neurological Basis of Human Movement   You were tasked by the PLNU Athletic Training Staff to measure the kinematics and kinetics of countermovement jumping of 15 women’s soccer players, 15 women’s volleyball players, and 15 women’s basketball players and now your research team is writing up the manuscript. Write the Methods section of this hypothetical completed study. Focus on the subjects, instrumentation, protocol, and analysis aspects of the study (i.e., motion analysis system, force plates, marker sets, subject movements, relevant dependent variables, research design, etc.). The team wishes to submit the paper to AJSM so details are key! 

A load of 16 kN is applied through a pin connection and a square bearing plate to the end of a beam that has a rectangular cross section. The base of the beam’s cross section is 90 mm and the height is 160 mm. The size of the bearing plate is 104 mm. Determine the bearing stress between the plate and the beam.

Which military decision/event led to the fall of Napoleon? 

  In the image shown, identify the letter A

The rigid beam BC is supported by rods (1) and (2). For a uniformly distributed load of w = 4.0 kN/m, determine the force in rod (1). Assume a = 2.30 m and L = 3.55 m.

Two plates are connected with four bolts and transmit load P = 4.5 kN. Each plate is 5.2 mm thick, and each bolt has a diameter of 9.4 mm. Determine the average shear stress in the bolts.

Which muscle is common to all the figures provided in the slides on human head and neck muscles?

Who wrote Principia? 

Part 3. Multiple Choice (20 questions, 2 points each)

Two plates are connected with two bolts and transmit load P = 6.0 kN. Each plate is 5.4 mm thick, and each bolt has a diameter of 10.5 mm. Determine the average shear stress in the bolts.
