AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the average pressure sustained by the femur bones when supporting the upper part of the human body. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Calculate the Force Exerted by the Body The force exerted by the body can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Force} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration due to gravity} \] Given: - Mass \( m = 40 \, \text{kg} \) - Acceleration due to gravity \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ...
