In a human pyramid in a circus, the entire weight of the balanced group is supported by the legs of a performer who is lying on his back. The combined mass of all the persons performing the act, and the tables, plaques etc. Involved is $280\; kg$. The mass of the performer lying on his back at the bottom of the pyramid is $60\; kg$. Each thighbone (femur) of this performer has a length of $50\; cm$ and an effective radius of $2.0\; cm$. Determine the amount by which each thighbone gets compressed under the extra load.

In steel, the Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $2 \times {10^{11}}\,N{m^{ - 2}}$ and $0.15$ respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore
