Larger animals have sturdier bones than smaller animals. a mouse's skeleton is only a few percent of its body weight, compared to 16% for an elephant. to see why this must be so, recall, that the stress on the femur for a man standing on one leg is 1.4% of the bone's tensile strength. suppose we scale this man up by a factor of 10 in all dimensions, keeping the same body proportions. (assume that a 70 kg person has a femur with a cross-section area (of the cortical bone) of ,4.8x10^-4 m^2 a typical value.) a. both the inside and outside diameter of the femur, the region of cortical bone, will increase by a factor of 10. what will be the new cross-section area? b. the man's body will increase by a factor of 10 in each dimension. what will be his new mass?

Arefrigerator uses r-134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle except for the compression process. the refrigerant enters the evaporator at 120 kpa with a quality of 34 percent and leaves the compressor at 70°c. if the compressor consumes 450 w of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the cop of the refrigerator. (0.00644 kg/s, 800 kpa, 2.03)

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. these cyclotrons typically accelerate h- (the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5 mev to 20 mev. this ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible—about 1 2000 of the proton’s mass. a typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9 t. (a) what is the speed of a 5.0-mev h-? (b) if the h- has energy 5.0 mev and b = 1.9 t, what is the radius of this ion’s circular orbit?
