By what fraction of its thickness does the disk compress

Reference no: EM13520746

There is a disk of cartilage between each pair of vertebrae in your spine. Healthy cartilage has a Young's modulus of approximately 10^6 N/m^2.

Suppose a disk is 0.50 cm thick and 4.0 cm in diameter. If this disk supports half the weight of a 90 kg person, by what fraction of its thickness does the disk compress?
