Question

Prof. Grabowski is thinking about transplanting kangaroo tendons into her own legs so that she can run a faster marathon. Her Achilles tendon needs to be 16 cm long to reach from her gastrocnemius to her calcaneus. It also must withstand a force of 7 times her body weight (body weight = 550N). 1. What is the minimum safe thikness for the tendon transplant? 2. What is the displacement that this tendon will experience when fully loaded?. Concider Y=1.3*10^Pa, and the elastic limit is 100MPA
