Answer: b) to understand the interaction between the human user and the mechanics of equipment or devices

Explanation:

To understand the interaction between the human user and the mechanics of equipment or devices is NOT a goal of biomechanics.

Biomechanics by definition in dictionaries is the branch of biophysics that deals with the mechanics of the human or animal body; especially concerned with muscles and the skeleton. To study the mechanics of a living body it is necessary to understand the forces exerted by muscles and gravity on the skeletal structure, as well as the mechanics of a part or function of a living body, for example the heart or of locomotion.
