Paul performing squat exercise that cause the leg bone to withstand the force exerted by the
body weight.
a If the force of body weight is equally distributed to both legs, calculate the force on the
bone if the Paul's weight is 78kg? Draw the free body diagram of the leg bone?
b) Assuming that the body weight causes the leg bone to deform, what is the name of the
stress that change due to deformation and what is the justification of your answer?
Calculate the stress that change due to deformation if the length of the leg bone is 40
cm and diameter of the bone is 15 cm and the force is similar to question a)
) Raheem is playing football with Paul. Unfortunately, Raheem causes Paul's leg bone
to fracture at the middle section of the bone. Doctor informed that the fracture leg bone
is deform by about 2 mm. Calculate the stress and force from Raheem leg that cause
the fracture? Assuming the bone modulus of elasticity is 18.6 GPa.
