The largest tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon, connects the calf muscle to the heel bone of the foot. This tendon is typically 17.0 cm long5.30 mm in diameter, and has a Young's modulus of 1.65 * 10 ^ 9 * Pa .
If an athlete has stretched the tendon to a length of 17.7 cm what is the tension T , in newtons, in the tendon ?
