Stress, Strain and Young Modulus
 

Stress, Strain and Young Modulus problem 31


  • Define strain.


  • A copper wire of length has a uniform cross-sectional area of . A tensile force of is applied to the wire. This causes the wire to extend by up to its limit of proportionality. Calculate the Young modulus of the wire.
