1a. (15pts) You are designing an indoor rollercoaster for adults at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.  You are tasked with calculating the minimum distance between the lowest support beam for the winding track above the riders and the seat under the rider’s thighs in order to provide enough clearance for most people to be able to raise their arms in excitement on the ride without them hitting the support beam. See image below for reference. State any assumptions.

5c. (6pts) Complete Step 3. Compute the lifting index   Lifting Index Origin Object weight = [weightorig]  RWL origin = [RWLorig] Lifting Index origin = [LIorig]   Lifting Index Destination Object weight = [weightdest]  RWL destination = [RWLdest] Lifting Index destination = [LIdest]  

A football team spends 4 hours per day practicing drills, with players lifting and carrying tackling dummies, which weigh 50 lbs each. Each player lifts 120 tackling dummies during each practice. The dummies are lifted from the ground and carried across the field and placed on a 40 in stand. The dimensions are shown below.   5a. (6pts) Complete Step 1. Measure and record task variables  Horigin = [Horigin]  Vorigin = [Vorigin] Hdestination = [Hdestination] Vdestination = [Vdestination] D = [D] Frequency rate lifts/min = [lifts]
