Elastic Modulie
Question

The adjacent graph shows the extension (I) of a wire of length 1m suspended from the top of a roof at one end with a load W connected to the other end. If the cross sectional area of the wire is 10-6m2, calculate the young's modulus of the material of the wire

 

Moderate
Solution

From the graph, l = 10-4m, F = 20 N

       A = 10-6m2, L = 1 m

 Y = FLAl = 20×110-6×10-4 = 20×1010 = 2×1011N/m2
