The two thigh bones (femur bones) each of cross-sectional area `10 cm^(2)` support the upper part of a human body 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: Calculate the Total Force The total force exerted by the body can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Force} (F) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{acceleration due to gravity} (g) \] Given: ...
