To create images of samples at the molecular level, atomic force microscopes use silicon

Chapter 6, Problem 9

(choose chapter or problem)

To create images of samples at the molecular level, atomic force microscopes use silicon micro-cantilevers that obey Hookes Law F (x) = kx, where x is the distance through which the tip is deflected (Figure 6). Suppose that 1017 J of work are required to deflect the tip a distance 108 m. Find the deflection if a force of 109 N is applied to the tip.
