When using a pencil eraser, you exert a vertical force of 6.00 N at a distance of 2.00 cm from the hardwood-eraser joint. The pencil is 6.00 mm in diameter and is held at an angle of 20.0° to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the wood flex perpendicular to its length? (b) How much is it compressed lengthwise? This question is from our text, OpenStax University Physics: Volume 1

Two wires are made of the same material, their Young’s Modulus constant is 10 x10^10 Pa. Wire X is 5 times as long and has half the diameter of wire Y. If they are to be compressed by the same amount, the needed force on Y must be
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 × 10⁹ N/m². Assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, how many strands N would be needed to make a rope 8.2 m long that would stretch only 1.02 cm when supporting a pair of 91-kg mountain climbers? N = Again assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, what would be the diameter d of the rope? strands d = cm

Suppose that we have two hanging rods of the same length 2.8 m. However, their cross sections are a circle with radius 3.5 mm and a square with sides ( 2•3.5 ) mm. Both rods have the same Young’s Modulus of 1.5 × 1011 N/m2. a) If we attach a heavy ball of mass 24 kg at the end of the first rod (the one with the circular cross section), how much would it stretch in millimeters? b) If we attach the same ball of mass 24 kg at the end of the second rod (the one with the square cross section), how much would it stretch in millimeters?

The normal force of the ground on the foot can reach three times a runner's body weight when the foot strikes the pavement. By what amount does the 52-cm-long femur of an 75 kg runner compress at this moment? The cross-section area of the bone of the femur can be taken as 5.2×10−4m2 and its Young's modulus is 1.6×1010N/m2. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
An 10.3-kg stone at the end of a steel (Young's modulus 2.0 x 1011 N/m?) wire is being whirled in a circle at a constant tangential speed of 10.0 m/s. The stone is moving on the surface of a frictionless horizontal table. The wire is 4.54 m long and has a radius of 3.56 x 10-3m. Find the strain in the wire.
