The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35% of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have stu
died the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters tendons stretch 41 mm, while nonathletes' stretch only 33 mm. The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 33 N/mm. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:
the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg
Explanation:
Given: details:
sphere diameter d = 20 cm
so, radius r = 10 cm = 0.10 m
density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3
sphere volume
=4.18*10^{-3} m^3
we know that
mass M = Density * Volume
= (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)
=1.25 kg
mass of the water displace = volume *density of water
= 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000
= 4.18 kg
The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support
=4.18 kg -1.25 kg
= 2.93 kg
