Answer:

178378378.37 Pa

0.01897

Explanation:

F = Force = 6.6\times 10^4\ N

A = Area = 3.7\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Y = Young's modulus of bone under compression = 9.4\times 10^{9}\ Pa

\varepsilon = Strain

Stress is given by

\sigma=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\frac{6.6\times 10^4}{3.7\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=178378378.37\ Pa

The maximum stress that this bone can withstand is 178378378.37 Pa

Compression force is given by

F=Y\varepsilon A\\\Rightarrow \varepsilon=\frac{F}{YA}\\\Rightarrow \varepsilon=\frac{6.6\times 10^4}{9.4\times 10^{9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-4}} \\\Rightarrow \varepsilon=0.01897

The strain that exists under a maximum-stress condition is 0.01897

A long uniform board weighs 52.8 N (10.6 lbs) rests on a support at its mid point. Two children weighing 206.0 N (41.2 lbs) and
natima [27]

The upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.

<h3>Upward force exerted on the board by the support</h3>

The sum of the upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces;

total downward forces = 52.8 N + 206 N + 272 N = 530.8 N

downward force = upward force = 530.8 N

Thus, the upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.

romanna [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can use that v = v_{o}+gt or v^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2gh=(25)^{2}+(2)(10)(381)=8245 \rightarrow v \approx 90.8 m/s.
