Fig. 4. The body segments of the frog were modeled as geometric primitives of
uniform density. To the left is a scanned image of the whole frog body. To the
right are the geometric solids used to approximate the inertial properties of
the skull, trunk, pelvis, thigh and calf segments (stadium solids; see
Materials and methods), the astragalus segment (cylinder) and the foot segment
(cone). The dimensions, mass, averaged density and estimated inertias for each
segment are shown in Table
1.
