The Achilles tendon pulls straight upward on the heel bone of his foot. This tendon is 25 cm long and has a cross sectional area of 78 mm^2 and a Young's Modulus of 1470 MPa.

(b) what force does the Achilles tendon exert on the heel during the exercise? (c) By how many millimeters does the exercise stretch his Achilles tendon?
