The achilles tendon is subjected to a large tension stress that results in a strain of 6%. if the unloaded tendon is 10 cm long, how much does it elongate as a result of this strain? The answer is .6cm I need to understand the work to get here.

0.6cm

Explanation:

Strain is defined as  how much an object can be stretched or deformed  when force is applied to it .  it measures the  fractional change of the object’s length when the object faces  tensional stress. It is calculated  by using the formulae

Strain =  ΔL/ L

where strain = 6%

L= Original length

ΔL= change in length

 6% = ΔL/ 10 cm

ΔL= 10cm X 0.06

ΔL=0.6cm

false

explanation:

boats, things on boats luggage are way more heavy then water.

reserve is the answer
