Determine the maximum stress that this bone can withstand

Reference no: EM13343250

The femur is a bone in the leg whose minimum cross-sectional area is about 3.1 x 10-4 m2. A compressional force in excess of 7.7 x 104 N will fracture this bone. Bone has a compressional Young's modulus of 9.4 x 109 N/m2.

(a) Find the maximum stress that this bone can withstand.

(b) What is the strain that exists under a maximum-stress condition?
