A gymnast does a one - arm handstand. The humerus, which is the upper arm bone between the elbow and the shoulder joint, may be approximated as a 0.30 - m - long cylinder with an outer radius of `1.0xx10^(-2)m` and a hollow inner core with a radius of `4.0xx10^(-3)m`. Excluding the arm, the mass of the gymnast is 63 kg. What is the compressional strain of the humerus ?

A

`4.9xx10^(-4)`

B

`3.5xx10^(-4)`

C

`2.5xx10^(-4)`

D

`6.4xx10^(-4)`
