Concept explainers
Part (a)
Whether the bond would break or not.
Part (a)
Answer to Problem 51P
Solution: Bone will not break.
Explanation of Solution
To know if the bone is going to break we need to find if the stress is bigger than the ultimate compressive strength of bone.
Given: Compressive force,
Length of the bone,
Cross-sectional area of the bone,
Formula Used:
Here,
Calculation:
The compressive strength of bone is
Conclusion:Thus, bone will not break.
Part (b)
The amount by which the bone shortens.
Part (b)
Answer to Problem 51P
Solution: Bone is shortened by 1.34 mm.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation: Given: Compressive force,
Length of the bone,
Cross-sectional area of the bone,
Formula Used:
Change in length can be found out by determining the deformation
Conclusion: Bone will not break. It is shortened by 1.34 mm.
