Bar length measures mass, not physical size.
A little perspective
The one-leg mass in a 70 kg model of Human leg is about 1.17 times the mass of 10 kilograms.

10 kilograms
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Human leg
One complete leg in a defined 70 kg adult model: 1.0 m from hip to heel and 11.68 kg, using published thigh, shank and foot mass fractions. This is a comparison model, not a population average.
de Leva — Adjustments to Zatsiorsky-Seluyanov segment inertia parameters
The marked one-leg mass in a 70 kg model is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares mass with one-leg mass in a 70 kg model. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Mass ↔ One-leg mass in a 70 kg model
- Relative size
- Human leg is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.17. Human leg's selected measurement is approximately 16.8% greater than 10 kilograms's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Human leg uses a 11.68 kg central value within a recorded range of 9 kg–14 kg.
- Human leg is labelled representative model; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
