PHYCS 209 Worksheet 1 (Chapter 12) Spring 2023

1) A 200-kg load is hung on a wire of length 4.00 m, cross-sectional area 0.200  10–4 m2,
and Young's modulus 8.00  1010 N/m2. What is its increase in length?

2) Assume that Young's modulus is 1.50  1010 N/m2 for bone and that the bone will
fracture if stress greater than 1.50  108 N/m2 is imposed on it. (a) What is the
maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a minimum
effective diameter of 2.50 cm? (b) If this much force is applied compressively, by how
much does the 25.0-cm-long bone shorten?
3) A child slides across a floor in a pair of rubber-soled shoes. The friction force acting on
each foot is 20.0 N. The footprint area of each shoe sole is 14.0 cm2, and the thickness
of each sole is 5.00 mm. Find the horizontal distance by which the upper and lower
surfaces of each sole are offset. The shear modulus of the rubber is 3.00 MN/m2.

4) The deepest point in the ocean is in the Mariana Trench, about 11 km deep. The
pressure at this depth is huge, about 1.13  108 N/m2. (a) Calculate the change in
volume of 1.00 m3 of seawater carried from the surface to this deepest point in the
Pacific Ocean. (b) The density of seawater at the surface is 1.03  103 kg/m3. Find its
density at the bottom. (c) Is it a good approximation to think of water as
incompressible? (B = 0.21 x 1010 N/m2)
