Consider a simplified 2-dimensional model of a fixation system used to stabilize an intertrochanteric fracture. the resultant hip joint force is assumed to act in the frontal plane through the joint center at an angle of 15 deg with the vertical. assume that (i) the nail is of circular cross-section with a diameter of 1.0 cm, (ii) the resultant hip joint force is 3000 n, (iii) the distance from the fracture site (a-a) to the joint center is 5.0 cm, and (iv) the bone surrounding the fracture site offers no support. the nail, made from a material whose yield stress in tension is 5.52 x 108 n/m2 , can be modeled as a cantilever beam that is fixed at section a-a. (a) determine the factor of safety for the nail according to the following definition and comment on the implications of your results. factor of safety = yield stress in tension / maximum tensile stresses (b) how would bony support at the fracture site affect the factor of safety for the nail? (c) suppose that the food and drug administration requires that such fracture fixation systems offer a factor of safety of at least 2.0 in the absence of any bony support at the fracture site. what changes, if any, would you make in the current design to meet this criterion, assuming that the material the nail is manufactured from does not change. give quantitative recommendations.

While studying chemical reactions and conservation of matter, sarah's class conducted a variety of experiments. sarah and her lab partner found the mass of a wax candle and placed the candle in a flask. the students lit the candle and let it burn to completion. all that was left was wax and charred candle wick. per their teacher's instructions, the students found the mass of the products. their data can be seen in the data table. formulate a hypothesis the students could test to explain why the experiment did not support the law of conservation of matter. a) the students could repeat the experiment using different candles; there might have been a flaw in the candle. b) the experiment should be repeatable. the students should run several trials and then take an average of the after mass in each trial. c) the students should have someone in the class check their measurement skills as they repeat the experiment. they may have made an error using the balance. d) the students should burn the candle in a container that has some type of lid so that any gas that is a product of the reaction can be contained and massed. submit
