2. Muscle can generate approximately 90 N of force per square centimeter of cross-sectional area. If a biceps brachii has a cross-sectional area of 10 cm2, how much force can it exert?
ANSWER FOR PROBLEM 2 = 900 N
3. Using the same force/cross-sectional area estimate as in Problem 2, and estimating the cross sectional area of your own biceps brachii how much force should the muscle be able to produce

A sample of collagen fiber with a cross-sectional area of 1.2*10^−7 m^2 is hung from a fixed support, and a gradually increasing load is applied to the lower end. The tensile strength of collagen (i.e. its fracture stress) is 0.6*10^8 N/m^2. Estimate the load in kilograms that can be applied before the fiber breaks we probably use the equation for breaking stress: Force(max)/Area = Y(max change in length) / length
An aluminum cable with cross-sectional area 1.50 times 10^-6 m^2 is suspended from the ceiling. A mass is suspended from the free end of the cable to keep the cable straight and at a certain length. If the temperature of the cable is reduced by 10 C degree, by how much should the suspended mass be increased so that the length of the cable remains the same? The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is alpha = 23 times 10^-6...
(I) For a trapezoidal channel with a fixed cross-sectional area of 10m2, bottom width b, depth y, and side slopes of 2H:1V, confirm that the most efficient (optimal) cross-section occurs with b / У = 21 V1+ m2-m | , where ,n=2 in this case. To do this, it is easiest to make a Matlab or Excel program with different b/y ratios and 10m2 cross-sectional area, and determine the relative flow rates. Then normalize this by the optimal flow rate...

A 505-g squirrel with a surface area of 920 cm2 falls from a 4.4-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use therag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the cross-sectional area of the squirrel can be approximated as a rectangle of width 11.5 cm and length 23 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.) ITn/s...
2. In lacrosse, an attacker's stick is 101.6 cm long. The stick is 350 g and due to the weight of the basket, has a center of gravity 10 cm toward the basket from the center. Presume the player's right hand is centered, and consider it the axis of rotation. The ball has a mass of hand also provides a downward force of 3 N at a point 40 cm from the ball, and the force of the left hand,...
Materials fracture when the force per unit area, called STRESS, exceeds a critical value. In general, the critical stress depends on the direction as well as the magnitude of the force. For example, bones break differently when subjected to torsional (twisting) stress than when subjected to compressional (or squeezing) stress. Let us consider compressional stress. Wet human bone for 20-39 year olds has an ultimate compressive strength of 1.6x104N/cm2 [8]. Consider a person who falls from a height to the...
