Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).

Your answer is partially correct. African elephants are the largest land animals. They consume approximately 10% of their body weight in food each day, which for an adult male, can be 1000 lb. of vegetation! Their diet consists mostly of grasses, bamboo, tree bark, and fruit. They also like to dine on tree leaves. To reach them, they often stand up on their hind legs and extend their trunks (see the figure). The elephant in the figure is in equilibrium. The location of the elephant's center of mass is shown, and the axis of rotation has been chosen to correspond to the hip joint. The forces in the elephant's free-body diagram are shown, and there is a static friction force between the elephant's back feet and the ground. Use the following information and calculate the magnitude of the tension in the elephant's trunk T (m = 4540 kg, FN = 'fs=133 cm, rcg = 76.0 cm, r = 229 cm).

Bruce Lee was famous for breaking concrete blocks with a single karate chop. From slow-motion video, the speed of his 1.50-kg hand descending on a block was estimated to be 15.0 m/s, which decreased to a speed of 0.500 m/s in the 2.50 103 s during which his hand made contact with and broke through the block. The maximum shear stress a concrete block can be subjected to before breaking is 9.50 105 N/m2. a. What was the force exerted by Lees hand on the block? b. If a typical concrete block broken by Lee was 3.00 cm thick and 15.2 cm wide, what is the shear stress experienced by the concrete block? c. Will the concrete block succumb to Lees karate chop?
