Question

1 pts An elephant has a mass of 5000 kg that is distributed over 4 legs while a human has a mass of 85 kg distributed over two legs. An elephant femur is 14 cm in diameter while a human femur is 2.4 cm in diameter. Assume Young's modulus is the same for both species bones. Also assume the elephant bears its weight equally across all four legs and the human bears its weight equally on both legs. Which species femur has a higher strain (fractional change in length)? The elephant's femur Trick question since they stand on all four legs at once. The human's femur Not enough information none of these
