2. A person with a mass of 85kg, stands on their tip toe one foot and has the following three forces acting on their foot. The tension in the Achilles tendon is 170ON when they are standing on their toes on one foot and the normal reaction force on their toes is 850N. The femur may be treated as a cylinder with length 420mm and a diameter of 32mm. The Young's modulus of the bone in compression is 9GPA. a) What is the change in length of the femur in this position? b) What is the strain energy density of the femur in this case? c) What is the total energy stored in the femur?

Consider a square-faced beam supporting a section of a building. a) Before installation, the length of the beam is found to be l0 = 15.02 m (figure a). After installation and construction, the length is remeasured and found to be l = 14.98 m (figure b). Determine Young's Modulus Y in N/m2 for the beam if it supports a mass m = 35000 kg and has a side length d = 1.9 m. b) Suppose that after the beam is installed it needs to be repaired. The weight it supports is removed and replaced with a new mass m2 (figure c). After the new mass is supported, the side length is remeasured and found to be larger with a difference of Δd. Assuming that this side length deformation is uniform and small, write an expression for determining Poisson's ratio v for this beam if its Young's modulus Y is known.
On a forest trail a 4m long birch tree trunk is laid across a ravine as a bridge. The trunk is 4m long and just touching each side of the ravine. The trunk is 20cm in diameter and roughly cylindrical. The Young's modulus of birch is 15.2 GPa and its density is 610kg/m. How far does the middle of the trunk bend under its own weight?

A cylindrical aluminum rod, with an initial length of 0.9570 m and radius 1173 um, is clamped in place at one end and then stretched by a machine pulling parallel to its length at its other end. Assuming that the rod's density (mass per unit volume) does not change, find the force magnitude that is required of the machine to decrease the radius to 1172 µm. Young's modulus for aluminum is 70x 10° N/m?. (The yield strength is not exceeded.) Number i Units
