You have two cylindrical samples of bone, A and B. Bone A 

You have two cylindrical samples of bone, A and B. Bone A has a radius ro, length Lo, and modulus of elasticity Yo. When a force Fo is applied perpendicular to the circular end of bone A, it is compressed a distance ALo. Bone B has a radius ro/2, length 2-Lo, and the same modulus of elasticity as A. What distance is bone B compressed when the same force Fo is applied?
