Q58P
Expert-verified(a) Estimate the force with which a karate master strikes a board, assuming the hand's speed at the moment of impact is 10.0 m / s} and decreases to 1.00 m /s during a 0.00200-s time interval of contact between the hand and the board. The mass of his hand and arm is 1.00Kg.
(b) Estimate the shear stress, assuming this force is exerted on a 1.00cm -thick pine board that is 10.0 cm wide.
(c) If the maximum shear stress a pine board can support before breaking is , will the board break? Determine the convergence set of the given power series.
c) We can see that karate master applies greater shear stress than board can handle, so it will break.
(a)
Calculating the force that karate master use to strike a board:
(b)
Board surface area is equal to:
Calculating shear stress
(c)
We can see that karate master applies greater shear stress than board can handle, so it will break.
