A force stretches a wire by 1.0 mm.a. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length. How far will it be stretched by the same force?b. A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?
The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in your calf to the back of your foot. When you are sprinting, your Achilles tendon alternately stretches, as you bring your weight down onto your forward foot, and contracts to push you off the ground. A 70 kg runner has an Achilles tendon that is 15 cm long with a typical 1.1 x 10-4 m2 area.a. By how much will the runner’s Achilles tendon stretch if the maximum force on it is 8.0 times his weight, a typical value while running?b. What fraction of the tendon’s length does this correspond to?
A.) A force stretches a wire by 4.0 mm. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length. How far will it be stretched by the same force?
B.)A force stretches a wire by 4.0 mm. A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?
c.) A force stretches a wire by 4.0 mm. A fourth wire of the same material has the same length and twice the cross section as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?
