A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r

atio of 0.30. If this specimen is pulled in tension with a force of 60,000 N, what is the change in width if deformation is totally elastic?

Answer:

There's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Shear Modulus;E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force;F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ =0.30

We are told width is 20 mm and thickness 40 mm.

Thus;

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

Now formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

Where σ is stress given by the formula Force(F)/Area(A)

While ε_z is longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Now, formula for lateral strain is;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Now, change in width is given by;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o is initial width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Negative means the width decreased.

So there's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Is energy matter? Is gravity matter? Why or why not
Alja [10]

No, because the energy is the capacity for performing work. Gravity is the force that draws everything to the earth's center.

This circuit has five bulbs (A, B, C, D, and E). Select which bulbs would turn off if bulb C was unscrewed.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

C, A and E

Explanation:

In theory you always assume that the prostive is going to the negtive and since C, A and E are in series they all will turn off will turn off
