When a human is standing stationary in
anatomical position, is their center of pressure
and center of mass located on the same vertical
line through the body?
Now the same exact question but if the person
was holding a very heavy weight out with their
hand, this should shift both center of mass and
center of pressure forward, are they still on the
same vertical line through the body? Is there
ever a time in which center of mass and center
of pressure aren't directly in sync?
