The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown. Suppose the ligament has a circular cross section. For a certain ligament, an investigator measures the restoring force at a strain of 0.40. If the ligament is replaced with one that has twice the diameter, by what factor does the restoring force increase?A. 1.4B. 2C. 4D. 8

Your biceps muscle is attached to your elbow by the distal biceps tendon. An average adults tendon has a 6 mm by 3 mm rectangular cross-section and is 63 mm in length. A tendon has a Young’s modulus of 1.5x10^9 N/m^2. How much work must be done to stretch the length of the distal biceps tendon by 10%? Assume that the tendon is a linearly elastic material and that stretching does not alter it’s cross-section.
