AI Thread Summary
To calculate the work done by an external force of 151 N on a 435 mm femur modeled as a hollow cylinder, it is essential to determine the type of force applied, such as axial, torsion, or shear. Understanding how to compute work done on a deformable object is crucial, as it involves factors like displacement and the material properties defined by Young's modulus. The hollow cylinder's dimensions, with an inner radius of 4.20 mm and an outer radius of 12.60 mm, will influence the calculations. Proper modeling and application of the relevant formulas will yield the required work done. Accurate calculations will provide insights into the mechanical behavior of the femur under applied forces.

How much work is done by an external force of 151 N when it is applied to a 435 mm femur? Model the bone as a hollow cylinder with inner radius R1 = 4.20 mm and outer radius R2 = 12.60 mm. Young's modulus for the bone is Y = 1.67×1010 Pa.

Could someone please help me approach this problem?
Thanks

Hi as76, welcome to PF.

(1) How is the force applied (e.g., axial, torsion, shear?)

(2) Do you know how to calculate work done by an applied force on a deformable object?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
