1) Stress = Force / Area

100/ π ¿= 127323954.5 Pascal

2) For force, assume the weight of the shaman is 70kg = (70 x 9.81) = 686.7
Pressure of a nail = Force acting / Area of a nail
= 686.7 / π ¿
= 874333595.4 Pascal

Pressure of 100 nails = Force acting / Area of 100 nail

= 686.7 / (( π (0.0005 ¿2 )x 100)
= 8743335.9 Pascal

Average pressure = Pressure of 100 nails / 100

= 8743335.9 / 100
= 87433.35 Pascal
The pressure at each contact point will be lesser because the 100 nails doesn’t cover all
shaman’s body.

3) Pressure = Force / Area

= (70 x 9.81) / (5x10^-6)
= 137340000 Pascal
(The wooden flooring will break as it cannot withstand the pressure applied by the heels
because the pressure applied is higher than the pressure that the wooden flooring can
withstand)

4) ¼ x 500 kg = 125 kg
Stress = Force / Area
= (125 x 9.81) / π ¿
= 173478888 Pascal
(No, it’s not recommended as ⅓ of its yield is lower than the stress acting on the wire so
annealed AISI 1010 Carbon Steel is unsafe to use for towing the glider.)l

5) 1 x 10^5 Newton = 100kN.

6) Stress = Force / Area Strain = changes in length / the actual length

= 500 / π ¿ = (25.06 - 25) / 25
= 25464790.89 Pascal = 0.0024

Young’s Modulus = Stress / Strain = 25464790.89 / 0.0024 = 1.061 x 10^10 Pascal
