What is the maximum force that could be applied to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) if it has a diameter of 4.8 mm and a tensile strength of 100 x 106 N/m2

Respuesta :

Answer:

Maximum force, F = 1809.55 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of the anterior cruciate ligament, d = 4.8 mm

Radius, r = 2.4 mm

The tensile strength of the anterior cruciate ligament, [tex]P=100\times 10^6\ N/m^2=10^8\ Pa[/tex]

We need to find the maximum force that could be applied to anterior cruciate ligament. We know that the unit of tensile strength is Pa. It must be a type of pressure. So,

[tex]F=P\times A\\\\F=10^8\times \pi (2.4\times 10^{-3})^2\\\\F=1809.55\ N[/tex]

So, the maximum force that could be applied to anterior cruciate ligament is 1809.55 N

To determine the maximum force that could be applied to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is [tex]13.3 \times 10^9 \;Newton[/tex]

Given the following data:

  • Tensile strength = [tex]100 \times 10^6 \;N/m^2[/tex]
  • Diameter = 4.8 mm to m = 0.0048 meter.

Radius = [tex]\frac{Diameter}{2} = \frac{0.0048}{2} = 0.0024\;meter[/tex]

To determine the maximum force that could be applied to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL):

First of all, we would find the area of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by using this formula:

[tex]Area = \pi r^2\\\\Area = 3.142 \times 0.0024[/tex]

Area = 0.007541 square meter.

Now, we can determine the maximum force:

Mathematically, force is given by the formula:

[tex]Force = \frac{Tensile \;strength}{Area} \\\\Force = \frac{100 \times 10^6 }{0.007541} \\\\Force = 13.3 \times 10^9 \;Newton[/tex]
