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

A 2×12 board of airdried Southern Yellow Pine (~12% moisture) is about 2.18 kg per linear foot. A physicist and his wife carry a 16-foot length of Southern Yellow Pine lumber, the physicist gallantly carries the board from one end while his wife carries the board 4 feet from the other end. How much weight is each spouse carrying? This is an equilibrium problem. Assume the board is perfectly uniform.
By how much does a 75.0-kg mountain climber stretch her 0.750-cm diameter nylon rope when she hangs 15.0 m below a rock outcropping? (consider g=9.80 m/s2, and, for nylon Y= 1.35×109 Pa)
A woman is standing erect and with her elbow flexed 90°. She has an 80 N load in her hand and it has a 0.25 m lever arm to the elbow. Her biceps creates 800 N of force and it has a 0.02 m lever arm to the elbow. The type of contraction in the biceps is: Group of answer choices concentric isometric really big eccentric
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 = 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?
