Assume a human leg contains a 50cm long bone with an average cross section of 3cm. By how much (in
micrometres) does the bone shorten when the entire body weight of the person is supported by that one leg.
The body weight is 700N and the Young's modulus for bone is 1.8 x 1010 Pa

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
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.
