If a compressive force of `3.0xx10^(4)N` is exerted on the end of a 20 cm long bone of cross-sectional area `3.6cm^(2)` (i) will the bone break and (ii) if not by how much length does it shorten? Given compresive strength of bone `=7.7xx10^(8)N//m^(2)` and young\'s modulus of bone `=1.5xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`
