During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze while holding another performer, also upside-down, by the calves. The legs (femurs) of the lower performer undergo deformation due to the upward force from the upper performer.
a. If the upward force on the lower performer's legs is 3mg (three times her weight), how much do the bones (the femurs in her upper legs stretch in meters?
You may assume each bone is equivalent to a uniform rod 35 cm long and 1.5 cm in radius and the legs are massless, serving only to transmit the upward force on the torso. Her mass is 56 kg and Young's modulus for tension on bones is 1.6 x 10^10 N/m^2.

What if? physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of mev/c, where c is the speed of light, and 1 mev = 1.6 ✕ 10−13 kg · m2/s2. based on this, what are the units of momentum for a high-speed subatomic particle in terms of fundamental si units?

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.
