Consider a simplified 2-dimensional model of a fixation system used to stabilize an intertrochanteric fracture. the resultant hip joint force is assumed to act in the frontal plane through the joint center at an angle of 15 deg with the vertical. assume that (i) the nail is of circular cross-section with a diameter of 1.0 cm, (ii) the resultant hip joint force is 3000 n, (iii) the distance from the fracture site (a-a) to the joint center is 5.0 cm, and (iv) the bone surrounding the fracture site offers no support. the nail, made from a material whose yield stress in tension is 5.52 x 108 n/m2 , can be modeled as a cantilever beam that is fixed at section a-a. (a) determine the factor of safety for the nail according to the following definition and comment on the implications of your results. factor of safety = yield stress in tension / maximum tensile stresses (b) how would bony support at the fracture site affect the factor of safety for the nail? (c) suppose that the food and drug administration requires that such fracture fixation systems offer a factor of safety of at least 2.0 in the absence of any bony support at the fracture site. what changes, if any, would you make in the current design to meet this criterion, assuming that the material the nail is manufactured from does not change. give quantitative recommendations.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

Thomas his older brothers, who own a junk yard, on the weekends to earn extra money. he likes to them push broken-down cars to the back of the junk yard because it makes him feel strong. last saturday, they pushed three cars with different weights, and he noticed he used different amounts of force for each one. the cars were the following weights: white car: 2,700 kg red car: 1,500 kg blue car: 2,100 kg think about how much force is needed to move each car. which correctly lists the cars in order from the most to least amount of force needed to move them? a) white, blue, red b) blue, red, white c) red, white, blue d) white, red, blue
