Preferably the forearm. I can't spend big money on x-rays, nor can I chop my arm off I've asked this elsewhere - LINK
I know the volume of my forearm, using the Archimedes method, for 10 equal segments of my forearm.
I've also looked at x-rays to work out roughly tissue distribution. Only issue, in terms of precision, is there is quite a big difference in density between bone, fat and muscle. On average, bone is 1.7500 g/cm and muscle is 1.0599 g/cm3.

How to measure the mass and balance point of a human limb?
in Physics
Posted · Edited by davekm
It is for a biomechanical computer simulation. I only need to measure my forearm. I only need the measurement for the forearm solely. Not forearm+hand or upper arm. Sorry, I should of said center of mass, that's what I mean't by balance point. @J.C.MacSwell I will take a look later, thanks!
