You are participating in a basketball game and as you turn to recieve a ball, a 4 cm long section of your medical collateral ligament stretches to 4.09 cm as a result of a 1150 N tensile force. (100 cm = 1 m; 1 m^2 = 1,000,000 nm^2), (1 m^2 = 1,000,000^2 or 18 mm^2 = 0.000018 m^2). a) how much strain does the ligament withstand? b) how much strain potential energy does the ligament possess in this position if the stiffness value (k) is 9,000 N/m? c) if the ligament has a cross section of 18 mm^2, how much stress does the ligament withstand? Answer parts a-c. Show all work.

A carbon nanotube is a nanometer-scale cylindrical tube composed of carbon atoms. One of its interesting properties is a very large Youngs modulus, measured to be more than 1.000 1012 N/m2. A tensile stress of 5.3 1010 N/m2 is exerted on a particular nanotube with a Youngs modulus measured at 2.130 1012 N/m2. Assuming the nanotube obeys Hookes law, by what percentage does the atomic spacing increase?
Consider a nanotube with a Youngs modulus of 2.130 1012 N/m2 that experiences a tensile stress of 5.3 1010 N/m2. Steel has a Youngs modulus of about 2.000 1011 Pa. How much stress would cause a piece of steel to experience the same strain as the nanotube?
A nanotube with a Youngs modulus of 1.000 1012 Pa is subjected to a stress of 3.14 1011 Pa by being pulled at its ends. Assuming the tube had an initial length of 8.12 106 m, what is the new length of the nanotube?
