Question
Kindly answer number 2 only. Thank you
1. At the local airport, a person
carries a 21-kg suitcase in
one hand. Assuming the
humerus (the upper arm bone)
supports the entire weight of
the suitcase, determine the
amount by which it stretches.
(the humerus is assumed to be
13cm in length and to have an
effective cross sectional area
of 5.2 x10^4 sq.m) Y of bone
(tension) = 1.6x10^10 Pa
2. A horizontal force of 1.2 N is
applied to the top of a stack of
pancakes 13 cm in diameter
and 9.0 cm high. The result is
a sheer deformation of 2.5 cm.
What is the sheer modulus for
these pancakes?
