A 140-lb construction worker punched a bamboo wall (the wall has a shearing strength of 241 MPa). His hand 3 inches in diameter is equivalent to 0.6% of the mass of his own body, and forms a circular shape with a compressive stress limit of 0.31 mPa before it bleeds. Find for: a. thickness in cm of the hole he made on the bamboo wall b. force he exerted to punch the wall c. maximum acceleration of his punch without bleeding his hand

Question
A 140-lb construction worker punched a bamboo wall (the wall has a shearing
strength of 241 MPa). His hand 3 inches in diameter is equivalent to 0.6% of the
mass of his own body, and forms a circular shape with a compressive stress limit
of 0.31 mPa before it bleeds.
Find for:
а.
thickness in cm of the hole he made on the bamboo wall
b. force he exerted to punch the wall
c. maximum acceleration of his punch without bleeding his hand
