    a) If the area of the first cervical vertebra, which the head restson, is 5 cm2 if the force = 64N, find the stress(force per unit area) on it.
    (b) What is this stress for a 66 kg person standing on his head? How does this stress compare with the maximum compression
    strength for bones(1.7 x 10^8 N/m2 )

    stress, .
    ˡ 1%

    [ (a) The stress is 64/5 x 10-4 or 1.28 x 103 N/m2.
    b) The mass is 66 kg, and the stress is

    N/m2 ) 1.3*10^6 = ( 5*10^-4 ) /(66*9.8)
    10 which is less than 1% of the maximum compression strength
