Question

In this exercise, you will identify the appropriate anthropometric measurement to assess the design parameters of a student chair for a classroom of mixed students (50% males and 50%females). See

Figure 1 below to check design parameters. a) (9 points) Based on the anthropometric dimensions presented in the lecture slides, which anthropometric measurement is required for each design parameter mentioned in Figure 1(SD, SH, SW, BH, BW, and DH)? Explain your answers. b) (12 points) For each anthropometric measurement identified in (a), which percentile(s) is(are) required for the adjustable seat design? Justify and explain in detail your answers. c) (9 points) Examine in detail the pros and cons of designing products for a fixed percentage of a population. When is this approach likely to be problematic? Citeappropriate references.
