Determine How Much Compressive Stress Is Present On The L1

Determine how much compressive stress is present on the L1-L2 intervertebral disc Figure 2 shows a lateral view of a normal spinal column. a) Determine how much compressive stress is present on the L1-L2 intervertebral disc when a person weighing 63 kg stands in anatomical position. Assume that approximately 45 % of body weight is supported by this disc. b) Determine the compressive stress on the L1-L2 intervertebral disc when the individual in a) stands upright holding a 25 kg suitcase. For your calculations, assume that the disc is oriented horizontally and that is has a surface area of 20
