Mammals that depend on being able to run fast ha(e,8 *s zqqfiu of,ew0ve je. sb;a1s0l gslender lower legs with flesh and muscle concentrated high, close to the body (Fig. 8–34). On the basis of rotational dynamics, explain why thil1. sjeg0 sb;as distribution of mass is advantageous.

参考答案:

The legs have a lower moment of inertia when the leg mass is concentrated next to the body.  That means the legs will require less torque to have a given angular acceleration, or, alternatively, a higher angular acceleration can be developed.  Thus the animal can run fast.
