A bone in a woman's leg has an effective cross‑sectional area of 3.34 cm2. If the bone is 32.1 cm long, how much longitudinal compressive force ?max can it withstand before breaking? ?max= N

How much will her bone compress Δ? if it is subjected to a force one‑tenth the magnitude of the force that breaks it? The longitudinal elastic modulus of human bone is about 9.60×109 N/m2. Give an answer in units of centimeters (cm).

Femur is the main bone in the upper leg. Assume that the minimum cross-sectional area of the femur of a human adult is 6x10-4 m2 . The weight of the human is 70 kg. The ultimate compression strength for bone is 17 x 107 N.m-2. The Young’s modulus for bone in compression is 0.9 x 1010 N.m-2. What is the compression load at which fracture occurs?
