The normal force of the ground on the foot can reach three times a runner's body weight when the foot strikes the pavement.  By what amount does the 52-cm-long femur of an 75 kg runner compress at this moment? The cross-section area of the bone of the femur can be taken as 5.2×10−4m2 and its Young'’s modulus is 1.6×1010N/m2. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).
