    The two thigh bones, each of cross-sectional area \[10\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]support the upper part of a human body of mass 40 kg. Estimate the average pressure sustained by the bones. Take \[g=10m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    A) \[2\times {{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[5\times {{10}^{4}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[2\times {{10}^{7}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[3\times {{10}^{6}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Total cross-sectional area of the thigh bones \[A=2(10\times {{10}^{-4}})=2\times {{10}^{-3}}{{m}^{2}}\] Force acting on the bones \[=mg=40\times 10\]\[=400N\]b \[\therefore \,\,{{P}_{av}}=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{400}{2\times {{10}^{-3}}}=2\times {{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]
