The leg bone (femur) breaks under a compressive force of about 6.30 × 104 N for a human and 12.7 × 104 N for a horse. The human femur has a compressive strength of 160 MPa, whereas the horse femur has a compressive strength of 140 MPa.
What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a horse? (Note: Since the center of the femur contains bone marrow, which has essentially no compressive strength, the effective cross-sectional area is about 80% of the total cross-sectional area.)
cm2

cross-sectional area of the femur in a horse = 9.0714 x 10-4 m2
Hope this will help you. Thanks. Please give a like.

The femur bone in a human leg has a minimum effective cross section of 3.25 cm2.3.25 cm2. How much compressive force can it withstand before breaking? Assume the ultimate strength of the bone to be 1.70×108 N/m2.
The femur bone in the human leg has a minimum effective cross section of about 3.0 cm^2 (3.0 times 10^-4 m2). Compressive strength for bone is 170 times 10^6 N/m^2. Part A How much compressive force can it withstand before breaking?
Please answer question 17: The femur (the largest leg bone) of a certain person has a cross sectional area of 3.57×10-4m2 and a length of 39 cm. If the compressional strength of bone is 104 MN/m2, what is the force required to fracture this femur? Correct, computer gets: 3.71E+04 N 17. [2pt] In the previous problem, what is the elongation of the femur when it is on the verge of breaking? Use positive values if the bone is longer, and...
QUESTION 4 a) The human femur bone breaks if compressive stress greater than 1.50 * 10 N/m2 is imposed on it. Assuming the Young's modulus for bone is 1.50 * 1010 N/m2, determine 1) the maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a cross-sectional area of 4.90 x 10-4 m2 by how much does a 0.400 m long bone shorten if this maximum force is applied compressively to the bone. (6...
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...

Exposure to arsenic in drinking water is associated with increased prevalence of diabetes. We previously reported an association of diabetes and urinary concentration of dimethylarsinite (DMAS"), a toxic product of arsenic methylation by arsenic (+ 3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT). Here we examine associations between AS3MT polymorphism, arsenic metabolism and diabetes. Fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance and self-reported diagnoses were used to identify diabetic individuals. Inorganic...
