4. A strain gage located on the surface of a bone indicates that the average normal stress
in the bone is 3,800,000 Pa when the bone is subjected to a 1200-N force. Assuming the
cross section of the bone to be annular and knowing that its outer diameter is 0.025 m,
determine the inner diameter of the bones cross section. Assume the bone has elastic
behavior.
Note: An annular cross section is a ring, as shown here
