As a rough model of the impact of walking/running, consider that half the mass of the body falls from a height of 4.77-cm onto a single foot. (During a typical stride, an adult's center-of-mass moves approximately this distance vertically). Use the kinematic equations to calculate the speed of an object falling from this height at the moment of impact with the ground under the influence of gravity. A. As a rough model of the impact of walking, consider that half of the mass of the entire body strikes the ground with a downward velocity of 1.0 m/s and comes to a full vertical stop over an impact duration of 20 ms. Calculate the force associated with this single step for a person with a mass of 74.2 kg. B. Calculate the stress (solid pressure) of a force of 1880 N applied across the 0.4 cm^2 cross-sectional area of the typical Achilles tendon. For reference, the maximum rupture stress of tendons has been reported in the range of 100-150 MPa.

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
