MEMORY HACK
Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation, where osteoclast activity > osteoblast activity

Young’s modulus is a material property — it depends only on the material itself, not on the size or shape of the object. That’s what makes it useful for comparing how “stiff” different materials are.

SAQ1 More aneurysms!
A section of a cerebral artery (E=1.2 × 10⁶ Pa) has developed a localized bulge — an aneurysm. This aneurysm can be approximated as a thin-walled cylindrical vessel with an initial length of 1.0 cm and cross-sectional area of 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m². The maximum tensile force that the arterial tissue can withstand before rupture is 0.48 N.
Blood is flowing through the vessel at a velocity of 0.5 m/s, and the pressure inside the aneurysm is initially 13.3 kPa (100 mmHg). As the aneurysm begins to expand, the velocity of blood flow decreases due to the larger cross-sectional area at the site, and the pressure increases accordingly due to Bernoulli’s principle.
BONUS Q: As the aneurysm expands and blood slows at the bulge, use Bernoulli’s equation to calculate the new pressure if the blood velocity decreases to 0.2 m/s inside the aneurysm. Assume the blood density is 1060 kg/m³, and external pressure is constant.
“Length of vessel” longitudinal span of the swollen/ballooned area. It might be a few mm-cm long, and we could measure how much it expands along the artery over time under pressure.

if velocity decreases, then the pressure must increase (especially in a region of slower flow like an aneurysm. This added pressure:
SAQ2 Easter bunny
The easter bunny is investigating whether a drug changes bone density in a randomised control trial. Assume the bone can withstand a max stress of 150,000 N/m² before fracturing.
SAQ2 Easter bunny
The easter bunny is investigating whether a drug changes bone density in a randomised control trial. Assume the bone can withstand a max stress of 150,000 N/m² before fracturing.
Stress = F / A
F = Stress x A = 150,000 N/m2 x 0.004 m2 = 600 N
F = 0.95 * 150,000 N/m2 x 0.004 m2 = 570 N
F prop stress
600 N x 0.95 = 570 N
Young’s modulus = stress / strain
Young’s modulus is proportional to stress, therefore decreased stress => decreased YM
There is no evidence to say that this drug is harmful to the participants.
SAQ3 ACL
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee has a length of 40mm. Its cross-sectional area is 78mm^2.
SAQ 2 ACL
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee has a length of 40mm. Its cross-sectional area is 78mm^2.
Young’s modulus = stress / strain
Strain = del_L / L_0 = 0.1% = (0.001 * 40mm) / 40mm = 0.001 (dimensionless)
Stress = Young’s modulus * strain = 1 x 108 N/m^2 * 0.001 = 100,000 N/m^2
Force = Stress * area = 100,000 N/m^2 * (78 * 10-3)2 m2 = 7.8N
SAQ4 100 kg volleyball man
BOBBY is a 100kg man who plays volleyball!
He supports 40kg of his mass on his lower leg including 25kg on his tibia. Assuming his the bones in his lower leg are both 30cm and his fibula has a radius of 1cm, find the change in length of his fibula.
Bobby isn’t completely focused on the game, instead concentrating on remembering the differences between cortical and trabecular bone. As he is thinking about this, the ball comes his way and he is taken in a crunching tackle that leaves him with a wrist fracture.
What are the differences between trabecular and cortical bone?
What is the difference between stiffness and strength of a bone?
