Orthopedic Implants Metals such as titanium and stainless steel are frequently used for orthopedic implants such as artificial hip and knee joints. As with most metals, though, their elastic properties are significantly different from those of bone. Recently, metal “foams” made from aluminum and steel have been shown to have promising properties for use as implants. (a) A 0.5-m-long piece of bone with a certain cross-sectional area shortens by 0.10 mm under a given compressive force. By how much does a piece of steel with the same length and cross-sectional area shorten if the same force is applied? (b) In order to determine whether a material such as the aluminum-steel foam behaves similarly to bone, plots of measured stress (force per area) versus strain (ΔL/L0) such as the ones shown in Figure 17-40 may be used. Which one of these plots corresponds to a material with elastic properties equal to those of bone in compression? (c) What is the value of Young’s modulus for the material represented by curve D?

- Artificial diamonds can be made using high-pressure, high-temperature presses. Suppose an artificial diamond of volume 1.00 106 m3 is formed under a pressure of 5.00 GPa. Find the change in its volume when it is released from the press and brought to atmospheric pressure. Take the diamonds bulk modulus to be B = 194 GPa.arrow_forwardYou are building additional storage space in your garage. You decide to suspend a 10.0-kg sheet of plywood of dimensions 0.600 m wide by 2.25 m long from the ceiling. The plywood will be held in a horizontal orientation by four light vertical chains attached to the plywood at its corners and mounted to the ceiling. After you complete the job of suspending the plywood from the ceiling, you choose three cubic boxes to place on the shelf. Each box is 0.750 m on a side. Box 1 has a mass of 50.0 kg, box 2 has a mass of 100 kg, and box 3 has a mass of 125 kg. The mass of each box is uniformly distributed within the box and each box is centered on the front-to-back width of the shelf. Unbeknownst to you, one of the chains on the right-hand end of your shelf is defective and will break if subjected to a force of more than 700 N. There are six possible arrangements of the three boxes on the shelf, for example, from left to right, Box 1, Box 2, Box 3, and Box 1, Box 3, Box, 2, and four more. Which arrangements are safe (that is, the defective chain will not break if the boxes are arranged in this way), and which arrangements are dangerous?arrow_forwardReview. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.00 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.600. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1 000 rev/min (a) in air and (b) in water.arrow_forward

The rod joins two strong end plates. The cross-sectional area of the concrete perpendicular to the rod is 50.0 cm2. Youngs modulus for the concrete is 30.0 109 N/m2. After the concrete cures and the original tension T1 in the rod is released, the concrete is to be under compressive stress 8.00 106 N/m2. (a) By what distance will the rod compress the concrete when the original tension in the rod is released? (b) What is the new tension T2 in the rod? (c) The rod will then be how much longer than its unstressed length? (d) When the concrete was poured, the rod should have been stretched by what extension distance from its unstressed length? (e) Find the required original tension T1 in the rod. Figure P12.27arrow_forwardA certain hydraulic system is designed to exert a force 100 times as large as the one put into it.

Take Youngs modulus for concrete to be 7.00 109 N/m2 and the compressive strength to be 2.00 109 N/m2. (a) What is the stress in the cement on a hot day of 50.0C?

Using the principle of conservation of energy, show that the minimum kinetic energy needed for escape is m0gRE where m0 is the mass of the molecule, g is the free-fall acceleration at the surface, and RE is the radius of the Earth, (b) Calculate the temperature for which the minimum escape kinetic energy is ten times the average kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule.arrow_forwardA host pours the remnants of several of wine into a jug a party. The host then inserts a cork with a 2.00-cm diameter into the bottle, placing it in direct contact with the wine. The host is amazed when the host pounds the cork into place and the bottom of the jug (with a 14.0-cm diameter) breaks away. Calculate the extra force exerted against the bottom if he pounded the cork with a 120-N force.arrow_forward
