To escape a burning buildingAmold has to jump from a third-story window that is about 10.0 m above the ground. Arnold worried about breaking his leg. The largest bone in Arnold's leg is the femurwhich has a minimum cross-sectional area of about 5 * 10 ^ - 4 m. Arnold has a mass of 79.0 kg. lands in deep snow, then his legs can move about 30.0 cm between the time they first hit the snow and the time he comes to a complete stopWhat is the compressive stress on each femur?

Required information
To escape a burning building, Arnold has to jump from a third-story window that is about 10.0 m above the ground. Arnold
is worried about breaking his leg. The largest bone in Arnold's leg is the femur, which has a minimum cross-sectional area
of about 5.00 x 10-4 m. Arnold has a mass of 79.0 kg.
If Arnold lands in deep snow, then his legs can move about 30.0 cm between the time they first hit the snow and the time he comes to
a complete stop. What is the compressive stress on each femur?
