When using a pencil eraser, you exert a vertical force of 6.00 N at a distance of 2.00 cm from the hardwood-eraser joint. The pencil is 6.00 mm in diameter and is held at an angle of 20.0° to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the wood flex perpendicular to its length? (b) How much is it compressed lengthwise? This question is from our text, OpenStax University Physics: Volume 1

Two rods, one made of copper and the other of steel, have the same dimensions. If the copper rod stretches by 0.15mm under some stress, how much does the steel rod stretch under the same stress?
A steel rod of radius R =15cm and length lo stands upright on a firm surface. A 65-kg man climbs atop the rod.(a) Determine the percent decrease in the rod’s length.(b) When a metal is compressed, each atom moves closer toits neighboring atom by exactly the same fractional amount.If iron atoms in steel are normally 2.0x10-10 m apart, bywhat distance did this interatomic spacing have to changein order to produce the normal force required to supportthe man? [Note: Neighboring atoms repel each other, andthis repulsion accounts for the observed normal force.]

The material in human bones and elephant bones is essentially the same, but an elephant has much thicker legs. Explain why, in terms of breaking stress.
There is a disk of cartilage between each pair of vertebrae in your spine. Suppose a disk is 0.50 cm thick and 4.0 cm in diameter. If this disk supports half the weight of a 65 kg person, by what fraction of its thickness does the disk compress?
After a fall, a 80 kg rock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been 14m long and 7.1 mm in diameter but has stretched by 2.2 cm. For the rope, calculate (a) the strain, (b)the stress, and (c) the Young's modulus.
After a fall, a 95 kg rock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been 15 m long and 9.6 mm in diameter but has stretched by 2.8 cm. For the rope, calculate (a) the strain, (b) the stress, and (c) the Young’s modulus.
1 b F2 1 1 FR F1 b. The figure above shows a crane tower on site at the HWY 1 expansion and Stoney Trail extension in NW Calgary. You are a design engineer working for the company supplying cranes for the contractors and you have been asked to evaluate the tower design. The crane tower supporting the pulley is designed so that the resultant force from the cable tension running over the pulley is oriented along the tower axis. Note: The tension in the cable is the same on both sides so ||Fill = ||F2l|| = T.
What is the compression in the tibia of length l = 30 cm of a person of mass m = 80 kg when standing erect? The tibia bone can be modeled as a hollow circular tube with an internal diameter of di = 2.4 cm and an external diameter of de = 3.5 cm, and having a Young’s modulus Y = 2.0 ×1010 N/m2.
