A cable used to lift heavy materials like steel I-beams must be strong enough to resist breaking even under a load of 1.0 x 10^6 N. For safety, the cable must support twice that load. a. What cross-sectional area should the cable have if it's to be made of steel? b. By how much will an 8.0-m length of this cable stretch when subject to the 1.0 x 10^6 N load?Tensile strength of steel = 5.0 x 10^8Answers a. 4.0 x 10^-3 m^2 b. 1.0 x 10^-2 m
The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in your calf to the back of your foot. When you are sprinting, your Achilles tendon alternately stretches, as you bring your weight down onto your forward foot, and contracts to push you off the ground. A 70 kg runner has an Achilles tendon that is 15 cm long with a typical 1.1 x 10-4 m2 area.a. By how much will the runner’s Achilles tendon stretch if the maximum force on it is 8.0 times his weight, a typical value while running?b. What fraction of the tendon’s length does this correspond to?
