Question: a ) Consider a composite scaffold for repairing large bone defects. The scaffold is composed of 6 0 % hydroxyapatite ( E = 5 GPa

a) Consider a composite scaffold for repairing large bone defects. The scaffold is composed of 60% hydroxyapatite (E=5 GPa) and 40% polycaprolactone (E=300 MPa). For a cylindrical scaffold of radius =10 mm and an axial compressive force =2000 N, how muchforce, in units of newtons (N), is experienced by the polycaprolactone portion of the scaffold?
b) Consider a composite scaffold for repairing large bone defects. The scaffold is composed of 60% hydroxyapatite (E=5 GPa) and 40% polycaprolactone (E =300 MPa). For a cylindrical scaffold of radius =10 mm and length =30 mm, and an axial compressive force =2000 N, what is the change in length, in units of millimeters (mm), of the scaffold?
