33. A wooden two-by-four stud (3.81 cm 8.89 cm) in an exterior wall of your house supports a load of 1340 N. Describe the kind of stress applied, and determine its magnitude.
3.956 x 105 N/m2 3.96 x 10 N/m2

34. If the originally 2.36 m (93 in.) long stud in Question 33 shortens by 1.65 cm under load, what is the strain of the piece of lumber?
6.991 x 10-3 6.99 x 10-3

35. Assuming a stud experiences a normal stress of 3.00 105 N/m2 and a strain of 0.0072, what is the modulus of elasticity for the wood?
4.166 x 107 N/m 4.17 x 107 Pa or 0.0417 GPa

36. A 65.0 kg physics student jumps stiff-legged from a 1.00 m wall vertically to a concrete sidewalk. He stops in 0.050 s as he lands. If the cross-sectional area of his femur (thigh bone) is 5.00 cm2, calculate the stress on the bone as he lands on the pavement. (Hint: Calculate his landing speed and the resulting impulse of the force as he stops, then calculate the stress on the bone. Also, consider that he has two legs.)
Find the velocity just before impact (v1 y) using the third equation of motion. Determine the total impulsive force during the impact. Finally, determine the stress on the bone of one leg: 5.75 x 106 N/m2 5.8 x 106 Pa
