The ratio of the tensile (or compressive) strength to the density of a material is a measure of how strong the material is “pound for pound.” 

 

A.)What is the strength of tendon (tensile strength 78.6 MPa, density 1100 kg/m3)?

?Pa⋅m3/kg

b.)What is the strength of steel (tensile strength 0.690 GPa, density 7700 kg/m3)?

? Pa⋅m3/kg

C.)What is the strength of bone (compressive strength 152 MPa, density 1520 kg/m3)?

d.)What is the strength of concrete (compressive strength 0.410 GPa, density 2800 kg/m3)?
