Find what would be percentage for a lower-impact activity

Reference no: EM13666646

High-impact activities such as jogging can cause considerable damage to the cartilage at the knee joints. Peak loads on each knee can be eight times body weight during jogging. The bones at the knee are separated by cartilage called the medial and lateral meniscus. Although it varies considerably, the force at impact acts over approximately 11.0 cm² of this cartilage. Human cartilage has a Young's modulus of about 25.0 MPa (although that also varies).

A. Find by what percent does the peak load impact of jogging compress the knee cartilage of a 78.0 kg person?

B. Find what would be the percentage for a lower-impact activity, such as power walking, for which the peak load is about four times body weight?
