The compressivestrength of our bones is important in everyday life. Young’s modulus forbone is about 1.4 * 10^10 Pa. Bone can take only about a 1.0% changein its length before fracturing. (a) What is the maximum force that canbe applied to a bone whose minimum cross-sectional area is 3.0 cm2?(This is approximately the cross-sectional area of a tibia, or shin bone,at its narrowest point.) (b) Estimate the maximum height from which a70 kg man could jump and not fracture his tibia. Take the time betweenwhen he first touches the floor and when he has stopped to be 0.030 s,and assume that the stress on his two legs is distributed equally.

- (A-(/2) (A-/2)(ptq)L)202 be 2. In engineering, the modulus of elasticity Is a way to measure how much an object deforms along an axis when opposing forces are applied among that axis. The formula can be expressed as E = ddsof elasticity, F is the axial force, & is a cdeformation measure, L s the original length of the object, and A is the croSs-sectional area.

If instead, you "lift with your back" by bending at the hip so that your upper body is angled, then you put a great deal more stress on your spine and back muscles. Consider a person who is "lifting with their back" such that they are bent at the hip with their upper body is parallel to the ground (i.e., their spine is oriented horizontally). Let us calculate the tension in the back muscles and the compression on the spine in this situation. We will model the spine and upper body as a horizontal rigid rod or uniform density with a length of 50.0 cm and a mass of 40.0 kg. Assume that the person attempts to lift an object with their arms, which we will model as attached at the far end of the rod.
