[问答题]
Mammals that depend on being able to run fast mc 3w(*rchbz8have slender lower legs w 4j;:kol 9lzmhith flesh and muscle concentrated high, close to the body (Fig. 8–34). On the basis of rotational dynamics, explain why this distribution of mass is advl: hjz 94lom;kantageous.

参考答案:

The legs have a lower moment of inertia when the leg mass is concentrated next to the body.  That means the legs will require less torque to have a given angular acceleration, or, alternatively, a higher angular acceleration can be developed.  Thus the animal can run fast.
