A sample of tendon 3.00 cm long and 4.00 mm in diameter is found to break under a minimum force of 128 N. If instead the sample had been 1.50 cm long and of uniform composition and cross-sectional area, what minimum force would have been required to break it

Answer:128 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample of 3 cm and 4 mm diameter found to break under a minimum force of 128 N .

If sample is 1.5 cm long with same cross-sectional area then minimum force required to break is also 128 N because the applied force is same for any length and diameter of tendon.
