A man with a mass of 68.3 kg stands on one foot. His femur has a cross-sectional area of 8.00 cm2 and an uncompressed length 50.4 cm. Young’s modulus for compression of the human femur is 9.40 × 109 N/m2. What is the fractional length change of the femur when the person moves from standing on two feet to standing on one foot?
Humans can bite with a force of approximately 796 N. If a human tooth has the Young's modulus of bone, a cross-sectional area of 1.1 cm2, and is 1.9 cm long, determine the change in the tooth's length during an 7.96 ✕ 102 N bite. m
A spider of mass 6.3 10-4 kg hangs from a 70.9 cm long thread whose diameter is 2.0 10-3 mm. Young's modulus of thread is 3 109 N/m2. By how much does the thread stretch (in m)?
Two rods are identical in all respects except one: one rod is made from aluminum (Young's modulus 6.8 x 1010 N/m²), and the other from tungsten (Young's modulus 1.7 x 1011 N/m²). The rods are joined end to end, in order to make a single rod that is twice as long as either the aluminum or tungsten rod. What is the effective value of Young's modulus for this composite rod? That is, what value Ycomposite of Young's modulus should be used in Equation 10.17 when applied to the composite rod? Note that the change ALComposite in the length of the composite rod is the sum of the changes in length of the aluminum and tungsten rods.
A 1.0 x 10-3 kg spider is hanging vertically by a thread that has a Young’s modulus of 4.5 x 109 N/m 2. What is the cross-sectional area of the thread when strained (strain = 0.1) by the full weight of the spider?
Between each pair of vertebrae in the spinal column is a cylindrical disc of cartilage. Suppose that such a particular disc of cartilage has a a radius of 3.118 cm (100cm = 1 meter) and a thickness of 6.877 mm (1000mm= 1meter). The shear modulus of cartilage is 1.2 × 107 N/m2. Suppose that a shearing force of magnitude 9 N is applied parallel to the top surface of the disc while the bottom surface remains fixed in place. How far does the top surface move relative to the bottom surface in microns (1 meter = 106 microns)?

Two cellists, one seated directly behind the other in an orchestra, playt he same note for the conductor, who is directly in front of them. Because of the separation between the cellists, destructive interference occurs at the conductor. This separation is the smallest that produces destructive interference. Would this separation increase, decrease, or remain the same if the cellists produced a note with a higher frequency? (a) The separation between the cellists would remain the same. (b) The separation would decrease because the wavelength of the sound is greater. (c) The separation would decrease because the wavelength of the sound is smaller. (d) The separation would increase because the wavelength of the sound is greater. (e) The separation would increase because the wavelength of the sound is smaller.
