Range of forces and moments that will be present at the base of the vibrissa during object contact: change in the magnitudes of moment and forces at the vibrissa as a function of radial distance and θp. For all plots, the thin black line corresponds to a θp of 1°; the thick black line corresponds to a θp of 10°. The magnitude of moment Mz (A), transverse force Fy (B), and axial force Fx (C) all vary over ∼3 orders of magnitude along the vibrissa arc length.
