A 480 mm long thighbone (femur), which is the largest and longest bone in the human body, has a cross sectional area of 7.7 × 10–4 m2. A safety factor of 4 applies and the maximum compressional stress that a bone can withstand is 1.6 × 108 N/m2 before it breaks. Young’s Modulus (E ) of a bone at room temperature is 15 × 109 Pa. How much will it compress to support a weight of 1.2 × 105 N?
