Human bones have a Young's modulus of 1.5 x 1010 Pa. The bone breaks if
stress exceeds 1.5 x 10° Pa. If, for example, a femur of length 25.31 cm
experiences this stress compressively, what will be the new length of the
bone?
Answer must be in cm and in two decimal places.
The bonded single lap joint shown below has a width, w = 97 mm and an overlap length, I = 28 mm.
