A horse had an accident and lost one of his legs, you trying to design a leg for that poor horse, you only having access to basic materials, you choose a polycrystalline steel that has a yield strength of 130 MPa, an ultimate compressive strength of 305 MPa, and an elastic modulus of 1 GPa. (M = 106, G=109 and a Pascal = N/m2) a. Consider the horse exerts a force of 1750 Newtons when standing pre-accident. What is the minimum cross sectional area of the prosthetic to prevent plastic deformation while the horse is standing b. Given an original length of 27 cm, what length will the prosthetic be under this force?

A horse had an accident and lost one of his legs, you trying to design a leg for that poor horse, you only having
access to basic materials, you choose a polycrystalline steel that has a yield strength of 130 MPa, an ultimate
compressive strength of 305 MPa, and an elastic modulus of 1 GPa. (M = 106, G=109 and a Pascal = N/m2)
a. Consider the horse exerts a force of 1750 Newtons when standing pre-accident. What is the minimum cross
sectional area of the prosthetic to prevent plastic deformation while the horse is standing
b. Given an original length of 27 cm, what length will the prosthetic be under this force?
