The leg bone (femur) breaks under a compressive force of about 9.00 × 104 N for a human and (1.02x10^1) × 104 N for a horse. The human femur has a compressive strength of 160 MPa, whereas the horse femur has a compressive strength of 140 MPа. What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a human in units of m^2? Give your answer with three significant figures. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible. Your Answer: х10 Answer
Human bones have a Young's modulus of 1.5 x 1010 Pa. The bone breaks if stress exceeds 1.5 x 10° Pa. If, for example, a femur of length 25.31 cm experiences this stress compressively, what will be the new length of the bone? Answer must be in cm and in two decimal places.
A tow truck is pulling a car out of a ditch by means of a steel cable that is 9.2 m long and has a radius of 0.50 cm. When the car just begins to move, the tension in the cable is 279.6 N. How much has the cable stretched from its initial length? Assume Ysteel is 2x1011 N/m2
