1. In her gymnastic routine, Regina dismounts from the uneven-parallel bars and lands straight-legged on the ground, compressing her O.250 m long femur by 2.10x10^(-5) m. If the femur has a cross-sectional area of 3.00x10^(-4) m^2 and the stress modulus of bone is 2.00x10^1O N/m^2, with how much force does Regina hit the ground? *

What Is Static Equilibrium? Problems 13 are grouped. 1. C A ball is attached to a strong, lightweight rod (Fig. P14.1). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1
