Answer:
Explanation:
Young's modulus of elasticity Y = stress / strain
stress = force / cross sectional area
= weight of 15 kg / π r²
= 15 x 9.8 / 3.14 x ( .025 x 10⁻² )²
stress = 74.9 x 10⁷ N / m²
strain = Δ L / L , Δ L is change in length and L is original length
Putting the values
strain = .0168 / 2.7 =.006222
Young's modulus of elasticity Y = 74.9 x 10⁷ / .006222
= 120.88 x 10⁹ N / m² .
