Question: No.1: Bone Fracture (a) What is the minimum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a minimum

No.1: Bone Fracture (a) What is the minimum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a minimum diameter of 2.50cm2? The Young's modulus of the bone is 1.50x1010 N/m2 . A bone will fracture if it receives stress greater than 1.50x108 N/m2 . (b) If this force is applied compressively, how much does the 25cm long bone shorten?
