Consider geometrically similar animals of different linear size, l. assume that the distance an animal can jump, h, is a function of l, the average density rho, the average muscle stress σ (that is, muscle force over leg cross-sectional area), and the gravitational constant g. (a) find a nondimensional functional expression for h. (b) in swift’s gulliver’s travels, the lilliputians were a race of very small people, tiny compared to gulliver’s size. if the lilliputians had the same rho and σ as gulliver, what conclusions can you draw on dimensional grounds? would they jump higher than gulliver? the same height as gulliver? lower than gulliver?
