Frost wedging breaks apart a large rock measuring 12 m long by 12 m wide by 2 m high into four equal pieces measuring 6 m long by 6 m wide by 2 m high. How much greater, in m2, is the total surface area of the four pieces compared to that of the original rock?
The surface area of the bigger piece of rock = 2(12*12)+ 2(12*2)+ 2(2*12) = 384 m2
The surface area of one of the smaller pieces = 2(6*6)+ 2(6*2)+ 2(2*6) = 120m2
The surface area of four such pieces = 4*120 =480m2
The total surface area of the four pieces compared to that of the original rock is 1.25 times.

By accident, a large plate is dropped and breaks into three
pieces. The pieces fly apart parallel to the floor, with
v1 = 2.80 m/s and v2 = 1.75
m/s. As the plate falls, its momentum has only a vertical
component, and no component parallel to the floor. After the
collision, the component of the total momentum parallel to the
floor must remain zero, since the net external force acting on the
plate has no component parallel to the floor....

QUESTION 4 a) The human femur bone breaks if compressive stress greater than 1.50 * 10 N/m2 is imposed on it. Assuming the Young's modulus for bone is 1.50 * 1010 N/m2, determine 1) the maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a cross-sectional area of 4.90 x 10-4 m2 by how much does a 0.400 m long bone shorten if this maximum force is applied compressively to the bone. (6...
A rock is pushed up a frictionless incline plane that is 6 m long and 2 m high. If it is pushed with a force of 8 N, how much does the rock weigh?
A 5m wide and 10m long rectangular foundation is built on a site where the soil profile consists of 3m of gravel and 4m of clay overlying rigid impermeable rock as shown in Fiqure 8. The foundation carries a surcharge loading of q-65 kN/m2 Initially the water table is 1 m below the surface of the gravel. The water table rises to the surface of the gravel slowly over a period of time and the surface loading induces an increase...
A container has a large cylindrical lower part with a long thin cylindrical neck open at the top. The lower part of the container holds 18.2 m3 of water and the surface area of the bottom of the container is 7.30 m2. The height of the lower part of the container is 2.50 m, and the neck contains a column of water 8.50 m high. The total volume of the column of water in the neck is 0.200 m3. 8.50...
