Sit Up Straight! It's Good Physics
Colicchia, Giuseppe
Physics Education, v40 n4 p365-369 Jul 2005
A simplified model has been developed that shows forces and torques involved in maintaining static posture in the cervical spine. The model provides a biomechanical basis to estimate loadings on the cervical discs under various postures. Thus it makes a biological context for teaching statics.
