Determine the SI base units of stress. Show your working.
A beam PQ is clamped so that the beam is horizontal. A mass
of
is hung from end Q and the beam bends slightly, as illustrated in the figure below.
The length
of the beam from the edge of the clamp R to end Q is
. The width
of the beam is
and the thickness
of the beam is
. The material of the beam has Young modulus
.
The mass
is made to oscillate vertically. The time period
of the oscillations is
.
The period
is given by the expression:
