1) a)Godzilla crushes a subway car between his two hands by pressing against its ends. The force applied at each end can be described as

options:

a tensile force

a compressive force

a shearing force

a bulk force

a and b

b) You place your flat hand on top of a textbook which is lying flat on the desk. You gently push against (along) the book cover in the direction parallel to the surface of the desk, causing the shape of the book to distort slightly. The parallel force you applied can be described as

options:

a tensile force

a compressive force

a shearing force

a bulk force

a and b

c) Two teams stretch a rope in a game of tug-of-war. The applied force from each of the two teams can be described as

a shearing force

a bulk force

a and b

d) The units of Young's modulus, the shear modulus, and the bulk modulus are

options:

all N/m

all N/m2

all N/m3

N/m, N/m2, N/m3

all dimensionless

e) Stress divided by strain has units of

options:

Newtons

Newton meter

Newton per meter

Newton per square meter

none; it's dimensionless

Solutions

Expert Solution

Tensile force occur when we try to stretch an object along its length, for example pulling a rope

Compressive force occur when we compress an object from two opposite sides

Shearing force occur we applied force is parallel to the surface of object, this distort the object

Bulk Force act on object when we try to compress from all direction with equal force.

(a) Since godzilla is compressing car from two opposite sides (hands) so this is a compressive force

(b) Since force is parallel to surface of book hence it is a shearing force

(c) In tug of war we stretch the rope along its length hence it is a tensile force

(d) Unit of stress is whereas strain is dimensionless. And all modulus is given as stress/strain so unit of Young's modulus, the shear modulus, and the bulk modulus are all

(e) Stress = Force/area hence unit is , strain = change in length/original length so unitless so unit of stress divided by strain is Newton per square meter

You and a friend are riding the subway, and sit at opposite ends of the car. You both count down from five, and then clap simultaneously, just as the train passes through a station. (It's an express train, so you don't slow down and stop at the station.) According to the predictions of special relativity, what would an observer on the subway platform observe as you passed through the station? Your claps would not be simultaneous. One would occur before...

Tendons are, essentially, elastic cords stretched between two fixed ends; as such, they can support standing waves. These resonances can be undesirable. The Achilles tendon connects the heel with a muscle in the calf. A woman has a 20-cm-long tendon with a cross-section area of 130 mm2 . The density of tendon tissue is 1100 kg/m3. For a reasonable tension of 500 N , what will be the fundamental resonant frequency of her Achilles tendon?
