Introduction Free Body Diagram Free Body Analysis Deflection Analysis Materials Selection Free Body Analysis Worst Case With laptop center of gravity (L_lw = 0 [in]) at max distance from user and backpack weight, W_b = 5 lbm. B = 192.3 [N] (roughly 43.1 lbm on waist of user) P = 342.5 [N] No Laptop Case With backpack weight, W_b = 5 lbm, and with no laptop placed on apparatus. B = 15.04 [N] (roughly 3.4 lbm on waist of user) P = 71.13 [N] Backpack Weight Case With backpack weight increased (W_b = 20 lbm) (i.e. several books in bag) and laptop on apparatus at L_lw = 4 [in]. B=59.76 [N] (roughly 13.4 lbm on waist of user) P=277.8 [N] Realistic Case With laptop center of gravity 4 inches from end of arms (L_lw = 4 [in]). Also backpack weight increased slightly (W_b=10 lbm) (i.e. about one book). B=118.6 [N] (roughly 26.6 lbm on waist of user) P=291.2 [N]
