Tendons are strong elastic fibers that attach muscles to


Tendons are strong elastic fibers that attach muscles to bones. To a reasonable approximation, they obey Hooke's law. In laboratory tests on a particular tendon, it was found that, when a 247g object was hung from it, the tendon stretched 1.25cm .

Part A Find the force constant of this tendon in N/m.

Part B Because of its thickness, the maximum tension this tendon can support without rupturing is 144N . By how much can the tendon stretch without rupturing?

dlta J = cm

Part C How much energy is stored in it at that point?

j
