- Assume Youngs modulus for bone is 1.50 1010 N/m2. The bone breaks if stress greater than 1.50 108 N/m2 is imposed on it. (a) What is the maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a minimum effective diameter of 2.50 cm? (b) If this much force is applied compressively, by how much does the 25.0-cm-long bone shorten?arrow_forward(a) The "lead" in pencils is a graphite composition with a Young's modulus of about 1109 N/ m2. Calculate the change in length of the lead in an automatic pencil if you tap it straight into the pencil with a force of 4.0 N. The lead is 0.50 mm in diameter and 60 mm long. (b) Is the answer reasonable? That is, does it seem to be consistent with what you have observed when using pencils?arrow_forwardUse the graph in Figure P14.46 to list the three materials from greatest Youngs modulus to smallest. Explain your reasoning. FIGURE P14.46arrow_forward
- (a) When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, V/V0=9.05102 ). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it freezes? (It is acceptable to use the bulk modulus of water in this problem.) (b) Is it surprising that such forces can fracture engine blocks, boulders, and the like?arrow_forwardA steel cable 2.00 m in length and with cross-sectional radius 0.350 mm is used to suspend from the ceiling a 10.0-kg model aircraft that is flying in a horizontal circle with an angular speed of 6.00 rad/s. What is the strain produced in the cable?arrow_forward(a) Estimate the force with which a karate master strikes a board, assuming the hands speed at the moment of impact is 10.0 m/s and decreases to 1.00 m/s during a 0.002 00-s time interval of contact between the hand and the board. The mass of his hand and arm is 1.00 kg.

The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1arrow_forward
