Answer:
a
[tex]k = 11600000 N/m[/tex]
b
[tex]\Delta L = 3.2323 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]
c
[tex]F = 3750.28 \ N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The Young modulus is [tex]E = 1.4 *10^{10} \ N/m^2[/tex]
The length is [tex]L = 0.35 \ m[/tex]
The area is [tex]2.9 \ cm^2 = 2.9 *10^{-4} \ m ^2[/tex]
Generally the force acting on the tibia is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = \frac{E * A * \Delta L }{L}[/tex] derived from young modulus equation
Now this force can also be mathematically represented as
[tex]F = k * \Delta L[/tex]
So
[tex]k = \frac{E * A }{L}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]k = \frac{1.4 *10^{10} * 2.9 *10^{-4} }{ 0.35}[/tex]
[tex]k = 11600000 N/m[/tex]
Since the tibia support half the weight then the force experienced by the tibia is
[tex]F_k = \frac{750 }{2} = 375 \ N[/tex]
From the above equation the extension (compression) is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta L = \frac{ F_k * L }{ A * E }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\Delta L = \frac{ 375 * 0.35 }{ (2.9 *10^{-4}) * 1.4*10^{10} }[/tex]
[tex]\Delta L = 3.2323 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]
From the above equation the maximum force is
[tex]F = \frac{1.4*10^{10} * (2.9*10^{-4}) * 3.233*10^{-5} }{ 0.35}[/tex]
[tex]F = 3750.28 \ N[/tex]
