Human bones have a typical compressive ultimate stress in the transverse direction of 133 times 10degree n/m^2, and bovine bones have a typical compressive ultimate stress in the transverse direction of 178 times 10degree n/m^2. 1) is a human or a cow more likely to suffer a transverse break in a bone? a human is more likely to suffer a transverse break in a bone. a cow is more likely to suffer a transverse break in a bone. both, a cow and a human have the similar resistance to a transverse break in a bone. 2) a bone in a woman's leg has an effective cross-sectional area of 3.60 cm^2. if the bone is 39 cm long, how much compressive force can it withstand before breaking? the longitudinal elastic modulus of human bone is about 9.6 times 10^9 n/m^2. (express your answer to three significant figures.) kn 3) how much will her bone compress if it is subjected to a force one-tenth the magnitude of the force that breaks it? (express your answer to three significant figures.) cm
