67. •Medical The largest tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel bone of the foot. This tendon is typically 25.0 cm long, is 5.0 mm in diameter, and has a Young's modulus of 1.47 x 10°N/m². If an athlete has stretched the tendon to a length of 26.1 cm, what is the tension (in newtons and pounds) in the tendon?

A farmer making grape juice fills a glass bottle to the brim and caps it tightly. The juice expands more than the glass when it warms up, in such a way that the volume increases by 0.2% (that is, V/V0=2103 ) relative to the space available. Calculate the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the juice per square centimeter if its bulk modulus is 1.8109 N/m2, assuming the bottle does not break. In view of your answer, do you think the bottle will survive?

Spiderweb An orb weaver spider with a mass of 0.25 g hangs vertically by one of its threads. The thread has a Young's modulus of 4.6×109 N/m^2 and a radius of 8.4×10−6 mm . A. What is the fractional increase in the thread's length caused by the spider? B. Suppose a 86 kg person hangs vertically from a nylon rope. What radius must the rope have if its fractional increase in length is to be the same as that of the spider's thread? Assume that Young's modulus for nylon is 0.37×10^10 N/m^2.
