Question:

The vertebra of the spinal column can support a maximum compressive stress of σmax, before undergoing a compression fracture. Determine the smallest force P that can be applied to a vertebra, if we assume this load is applied at an eccentric distance e from the centerline of the bone, and the bone remains elastic. Model the vertebra as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius riand outer radius ro.
