Which anthropometric sizes would be considered when designing the handle of the vacuum cleaner shown?

• Hand grip size for diameter of the handle and finger width for clearance between the handle and the vacuum

• Hand grip size for diameter of the handle and weight of the vacuum cleaner when full

• Weight of the vacuum cleaner when full and finger width for clearance between the handle and the vacuum

• Weight of the vacuum cleaner when full and strength required to use it

Which anthropometric sizes would be considered when designing the pedals of the bicycle shown?

• The width of the foot for the width of the pedal, hip width for the width of the seat and the distance from hip to foot for the distance of the pedal from the seat

• The width of the foot for the width of the pedal, the length of the ball of the foot for the length of the pedal and the distance from hip to foot for the distance of the pedal from the seat

• Hip width for the width of the seat , the length of the ball of the foot for the length of the pedal and the distance from hip to foot for the distance of the pedal from the seat

• The width of the foot for the width of the pedal, the length of the ball of the foot for the length of the pedal and hip width for the width of the seat

Which anthropometric sizes would be considered when designing the seat shown?

• Shoulder width for the width of the back rest, the force required to adjust the seat up and down, sitting elbow height for the height of the arms and back length for the height of the back rest

• Shoulder width for the width of the back rest, hip width for the width of the seat, the force required to adjust the seat up and down and back length for the height of the back rest

• Shoulder width for the width of the back rest, hip width for the width of the seat, sitting elbow height for the height of the arms and the force required to adjust the seat up and down

• Shoulder width for the width of the back rest, hip width for the width of the seat, sitting elbow height for the height of the arms and back length for the height of the back rest

What would be considered in terms of physiology when designing the scooter shown?

• Force required to pull the breaks, force required to fold the scooter and the fact that is has a stand to hold it when not in use

• Force required to pull the breaks, the fact that is has a stand to hold it when not in use and the comfort of the handles when holding them

• Force required to pull the breaks, force required to fold the scooter and the comfort of the handles when holding them

• The fact that is has a stand to hold it when not in use, force required to fold the scooter and the comfort of the handles when holding them

What would be considered in terms of physiology when designing the cross trainer shown?

• The force required to move the pedals, the noise it makes when you start moving, the comfort of the handles and the force required to push any buttons

• The force required to move the pedals, the force required to move the handles, the noise it makes when you start moving, and the force required to push any buttons

• The force required to move the pedals, the force required to move the handles, the comfort of the handles and the force required to push any buttons

• The force required to move the pedals, the force required to move the handles, the comfort of the handles and the noise it makes when you start moving

What would be considered in terms of physiology when designing the children's buggy shown?

• The force required to fold the buggy, the force required to push the buggy with a child in it and items in the storage rack and the comfort of the seat and handles

• The force required to fold the buggy, the width of the seat would be influenced by a child's hip width and the comfort of the seat and handles

• The force required to fold the buggy, the force required to push the buggy with a child in it and items in the storage rack and the width of the seat would be influenced by a child's hip width

• The width of the seat would be influenced by a child's hip width, the force required to push the buggy with a child in it and items in the storage rack and the comfort of the seat and handles

What would be considered in terms of psychology when designing the children's game shown?

• Strength required to push the buttons , lights when the game is being played and different colours and shaped buttons to indicate different functions

• Sounds when the buttons are pressed, strength required to push the buttons and different colours and shaped buttons to indicate different functions

• Sounds when the buttons are pressed, lights when the game is being played and strength required to push the buttons

• Sounds when the buttons are pressed, lights when the game is being played and different colours and shaped buttons to indicate different functions

What would be considered in terms of psychology when designing the skate board shown?

• Does it look safe to use, does it look like it would hold the weight of the user and the wheels lighting up when the skate board is in motion

• The comfort of the board when standing on it, does it look like it would hold the weight of the user and the wheels lighting up when the skate board is in motion

• Does it look safe to use, the comfort of the board when standing on it and the wheels lighting up when the skate board is in motion

• Does it look safe to use, does it look like it would hold the weight of the user and the comfort of the board when standing on it

What would be considered in terms of psychology when designing the oven shown?

• Clicking noise when the dials are turned, an alarm when the timer finishes, grip size for the width and length of the dials, and oven light on while the oven is heated.

• Clicking noise when the dials are turned, an alarm when the timer finishes, see through door so you can check on the food, and oven light on while the oven is heated.

• Clicking noise when the dials are turned, grip size for the width and length of the dials, see through door so you can check on the food, and oven light on while the oven is heated.
