What stress would cause a wire to increase in length by one-tenth of one percent if the Young modulus for the wire is 12 × 1010 N/m2 ? What force would produce this stress if the diameter of the wi...
Solution:
The Young modulus of a wire, Y = 12 1010 N/m2 ;
the diameter of the wire, d = 0.56 mm = 0.56 10–3 mm
The cross-section area of the wire,
The strain = one-tenth of 1 percent
