- 37Centre Of GravityThe spot where you would apply gravity on an object.
The middle of the mass. - 38Thrust LineThe line that runs downward from an object's centre of gravity, through which force is transferred.
- 39AestheticsThe properties of an object that make it pleasing to the senses.
- 40ErgonomicsDesign Factors intended to maximize productivity by minimizing fatigue and discomfort of the user.
- 41Criteria / SpecificationsA set of standards or expectations for a design.
