10 kg dumbbell

Defined example; real examples vary. The 10 kg mass is an explicit assumption, not a species average or product specification.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

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.

Why this measurement?

Why we use 10 kg

For comparison, this page uses mass. This is labelled example: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value.

Defined example; real examples vary. The 10 kg mass is an explicit assumption, not a species average or product specification.
