You are still a comparative evolutionary biologist that studies biomechanics and have made an amazing discovery. You’ve dug up a fossil related to the species above that has a hollow rectangular cross section in their femur-equivalent. The bone has a cross section that is 20 mm by 15 mm with a uniform 5 mm wall thickness
(A) Calculate the first- and second-area moments for composite-shape bone geometry.
(B) Discuss the implications of having a hollow bone. Consider the differences in the area moments as well as the relative strengths given the cross-sectional areas of the bone.
A paper clip is made of wire 0.7 mm in diameter. If the original material from which thewire is made is a rod 25 mm in diameter, calculate the longitudinal engineering and truestrains that the wire has undergone during processing.
Compare the mechanical properties of a steel cable, made by twisting many thin wires together, with the properties of a solid steel rod of the same diameter. What advantages does each have?

To be able to fly missions at night, the pilots wear night vision goggles, which are attached to the front of the helmet. Unfortunately, these are heavy, causing a large downward torque of the head, which must be counteracted by the neck muscles, which then fatigue. To alleviate this problem, many pilots have started attaching random lead weights to the back of the helmet. Find the appropriate weight that would best balance the head and minimize neck fatigue – You must show your free body diagram. Assumptions: a) center of gravity of goggles is 20 cm in front of neck pivot point, b) load of goggles1.0 kg mass, c) center of gravity of lead weight is 10 cm behind neck pivot point, d) load of bare helmet 3 kg mass, e) center of gravity of helmet is 2 cm in front of neck pivot, f) load of head 4.0 kg mass, and g) center of gravity of head is right at neck pivot point.
