The two thigh bones (femurs) each of cross-sectional are `10 cm^(2)` support the upper part of a human bodu of mass 40 kg . Estimate the average pressure sustained by the femurs. `g=10m//s^(2)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of estimating the average pressure sustained by the femurs, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Cross-sectional area of each femur: \( A = 10 \, \text{cm}^2 \) - Mass of the body: \( m = 40 \, \text{kg} \) - Acceleration due to gravity: \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 2: Convert the cross-sectional area from cm² to m² ...
