In a human pyramid in a circus, the entire weight of the balanced group is supported by the legs of a performer who is lying on his back. The combined mass of all the persons performing the act, and the tables, plaques etc. involved is 280 kg. The mass of the performer lying on his back at the bottom of the pyramid is 60 kg. Each thighbone (femur) of this performer has a length of 50 cm and an effective radius of 2.0 cm. Determine the amount by which each thighbone gets compressed under the extra load. (g = 9.8 ms ^(-2)) Young's Modulus for bone Y=9.4xx 10 ^(9) Nm^(-2).

A closed cubical box is made of perfectly insulating material and the only way for heat to enter or leave the box is through two solid cylindrical metal plugs, each of cross sectional area 12cm^(2) and length 8cm fixed in the opposite walls of the box. The outer surface of one plug is kept at a temperature of 100^(@)C . while the outer surface of the plug is maintained at a temperature of 4(@)C . The thermal conductivity of the material of the plug is 2.0Wm^(-1).^(@)C^(-1) . A source of energy generating 13W is enclosed inside the box. Find the equilibrium temperature of the inner surface of the box assuming that it is the same at all points on the inner surface.
