 1200 N PROBLEM 1.5

A strain gage located at C on the surface of bone AB indicates that the average normal stress
A in the bone is 3.80 MPa when the bone is subjected to two 1200-N forces as shown.
Assuming the cross section of the bone at C to be annular and knowing that its outer diameter
is 25 mm, determine the inner diameter of the bone’s cross section at C.
