Janice is grilling a steak for her July 4th barbecue dinner. The steak initially weighs 300 grams and is 25 mm thick. After grilling it for a while, she considers the steak done, and measures it again: it now weighs 215 grams, and is 15 mm thick. For both the cooked and uncooked steak, she uses the thumb-test to determine the done-ness, i.e. she uses her thumb (area ~5cm2) to push down with a force of 5 N. The uncooked steak compresses by 7 mm, and the cooked steak by 2 mm. Calculating elasticity What is the elasticity of the raw steak? Express your answer in Pascals but without including the units in your answer. What is the elasticity of the cooked steak? Express your answer in Pascals, but without including the units.
