The tibia is a lower leg bone (shin bone) in a human. The maximum strain that the tibia can experience before fracturing corresp

onds to a 1 % change in length.
A. Young's modulus for bone is about Y = 1.4 x 10 N/m². The tibia (shin bone) of a human is 0.35 m long and has an average cross-sectional area of 2.9 cm. What is the effective spring constant of the tibia?
B. If a man weighs 750 N, how much is the tibia compressed if it supports half his weight?
C. What is the maximum force that can be applied to a tibia with a cross-sectional area, A = 2.90 cm?

Answer:

a

   k    =  11600000 N/m

b

   \Delta  L  =  3.2323 *10^{-5} \ m

c

  F =  3750.28 \  N  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The Young modulus is  E =  1.4 *10^{10} \  N/m^2

     The length is  L  =  0.35 \ m

      The  area is  2.9 \ cm^2  =  2.9 *10^{-4} \ m ^2

   

Generally the force acting on the tibia is mathematically represented as

       F =  \frac{E *  A  *  \Delta  L }{L}    derived from young modulus equation

Now this force can also be mathematically represented as

      F =  k *  \Delta  L    

So

     k    =  \frac{E *  A  }{L}

substituting values

     k    =  \frac{1.4 *10^{10} *  2.9 *10^{-4}  }{ 0.35}

     k    =  11600000 N/m

    Since the tibia support half the weight then the force experienced by the tibia is  

        F_k  =  \frac{750 }{2}  =  375 \  N

 From the above equation the extension (compression) is mathematically represented as

          \Delta  L  =  \frac{ F_k  *  L  }{ A *  E }        

substituting values

           \Delta  L  =  \frac{  375   *  0.35  }{ (2.9 *10^{-4}) *   1.4*10^{10} }

           \Delta  L  =  3.2323 *10^{-5} \ m

From the above equation the maximum force is  

        F =  \frac{1.4*10^{10} *  (2.9*10^{-4})  *  3.233*10^{-5} }{ 0.35}  

         F =  3750.28 \  N

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100

Efficiency = 0.8 * 100

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.

Is the bike rider in the picture above demonstrating kinetic energy or potential energy? you need to explain your answer.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh
