3. A steel beam is placed vertically in the basement of a building to keep the floor above from sagging. The load on the beam is 6.0*10 N, the length of the beam is 2.7 m, and the cross-sectional area of the beam is 7.3*10-3 m2. Find the vertical compression of the beam. The young's modulus of steel is 200 *10° Pa.

Bruce Lee was famous for breaking concrete blocks with a single karate chop. From slow-motion video, the speed of his 1.50-kg hand descending on a block was estimated to be 15.0 m/s, which decreased to a speed of 0.500 m/s in the 2.50 103 s during which his hand made contact with and broke through the block. The maximum shear stress a concrete block can be subjected to before breaking is 9.50 105 N/m2. a. What was the force exerted by Lees hand on the block? b. If a typical concrete block broken by Lee was 3.00 cm thick and 15.2 cm wide, what is the shear stress experienced by the concrete block? c. Will the concrete block succumb to Lees karate chop?
