- Many caterpillars construct cocoons from silk, one of the strongest naturally occurring materials known. Each thread is typically 2.0 µm in diameter, and the silk has a Young's modulus of 4.0 x 10° N/m2. Assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, how many strands N would be needed to N = strands make a rope 8.6 m long that would stretch only 1.02 cm when supporting a pair of 85-kg mountain climbers? Again assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, what would be the diameter d of the rope? d = cmarrow_forward0.7 cm A disk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 633 N.
