Find Stress and Strain?

A rod 4.2 m long and 0.50 cm^2 in cross-sectional area is stretched 0.20 cm under a tension of 12,000 Nt. What is the applied stress? What is the resulting strain? What is Young's modulus for this material?



Find Stress and Strain?home theater



Stress = Tension applied divided by area of cross section.



Stress = 12000 / [0.5x10^(-4)] = 2.4 x 10^8 Pa



Strain = elongation / original length = 0.2x10^(-2) / 4.2



= 4.762 x 10^(-4)



Young's modulus = Stress / strain



= [2.4 x 10^8] / [4.762 x 10^(-4)] = 5.04 x 10^13 Pa
