Question: 1 6 . ( 4 points ) The ( mathrm { S } / mathrm { N } ) curves below

16.(4 points) The \(\mathrm{S}/\mathrm{N}\) curves below are for human bone loaded in compression (C), tension (T), and shear ( S ). From these curves, we can infer that
a. Bone is strongest in compression, less strong in tension, and weakest in shear (if curves are extrapolated to \(10^{\circ}\) or 1 cycle).
b. A bone repetitively loaded to 80 MPa in tension is unlikely to survive \(10^{5}\mathrm{cycles}\) before failing.
c. Bone is more susceptible to fatiguing in compression than in shear. (c.) All of the above.
1 6 . ( 4 points ) The \ ( \ mathrm { S } / \
