Evaluate the amount of compression bone can endure


Bone consists of a Young's modulus of around 18 x 109 Pa. Under compression, it can endure a stress of around 160 x 106 Pa before breaking. Suppose that a femur (thigh-bone) is 0.50 m long, and evaluate the amount of compression this bone can endure before breaking.
