Chapter 18, Problem 16P
Review. On a day that the temperature is 20.0°C, a concrete walk is poured in such a way that the ends of the walk are unable to move. Take Young’s modulus for concrete to be 7.00 × 109 N/m2 and the compressive strength to be 2.00 × 109 N/m2. (a) What is the stress in the cement on a hot day of 50.0°C? (b) Does the concrete fracture?

Hello, I have a physics question. Thanks in advance :)
Question:
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 × 10−4 m. Arnold has a mass of 93.0 kg.
If Arnold lands on the ground with his legs stiff, and if his femur can compress only about 5.00 mm, what is the compressive stress on each femur?
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?

- The lintel of prestressed reinforced concrete in Figure P12.27 is 1.50 m long. The concrete encloses one steel reinforcing rod with cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2. The rod joins two strong end plates. The cross-sectional area of the concrete perpendicular to the rod is 50.0 cm2. Youngs modulus for the concrete is 30.0 109 N/m2. After the concrete cures and the original tension T1 in the rod is released, the concrete is to be under compressive stress 8.00 106 N/m2. (a) By what distance will the rod compress the concrete when the original tension in the rod is released? (b) What is the new tension T2 in the rod? (c) The rod will then be how much longer than its unstressed length? (d) When the concrete was poured, the rod should have been stretched by what extension distance from its unstressed length?

The same thing will happen with spans on bridges if allowance is not made for expansion (Fig. P18.11b).
