- Bruce Lee was famous for breaking concrete blocks with a single karate chop. From slow-motion video, the speed of his 1.50-kg hand descending on a block was estimated to be 15.0 m/s, which decreased to a speed of 0.500 m/s in the 2.50 103 s during which his hand made contact with and broke through the block. The maximum shear stress a concrete block can be subjected to before breaking is 9.50 105 N/m2. a. What was the force exerted by Lees hand on the block? b. If a typical concrete block broken by Lee was 3.00 cm thick and 15.2 cm wide, what is the shear stress experienced by the concrete block? c. Will the concrete block succumb to Lees karate chop?arrow_forwardStand straight and comfortably with your feet about shoulderswidth apart.

The bone breaks if stress greater than 1.50 108 N/m2 is imposed on it. (a) What is the maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a minimum effective diameter of 2.50 cm? (b) If this much force is applied compressively, by how much does the 25.0-cm-long bone shorten?arrow_forward
- A brass wire and a steel wire, both of the same length, are extended by 1.0 mm under the same force. Is the cross-sectional radius of the brass wire more, less, or equal to the cross-sectional radius of the steel wire? Explain. Youngs moduli for brass and steel are 1.0 1010 N/m2 and 2.0 1011 N/m2, respectively.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardSuppose a horse leans against a wall as in Figure 9.31. Calculate the force exerted on the wall assuming that force is horizontal while using the data in the schematic representation of the situation. Note that the force exerted on the wall is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the horse, keeping it in equilibrium. The total mass of the horse and rider is 500 kg. Take the data to be accurate to three digits.arrow_forward

The mass of his hand and arm is 1.00 kg. (b) Estimate the shear stress, assuming this force is exerted on a 1.00-cm-thick pine board that is 10.0 cm wide, (c) If the maximum shear stress a pine board can support before breaking is 3.60 106 N/m2, will the board break?arrow_forwardWhen visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head.
