Young Modulus
Young Modulus
BY ; Roann L. Hernandez
Calculation
The modulus of elasticity, , can be calculated by dividing the stress by the strain, i.e. where (in SI units) is the modulus of elasticity, measured in pascals F is the force, measured in newtons A is the cross-sectional area through which the force is applied, measured in square metres x is the extension, measured in metres l is the natural length, measured in metres < ... Just as what have been stated in the Hookes Law where the distorting force F is directly proportional to the deformation Y stress is directly proportional to strain thus the equation stress K (constant)= -------strain
The constant K is called Youngs Modulus This gives the formula. stress Y=------strain F/A so Y=-----L/L
A stretched rubber band does not return immediately to its original shape and size when the deforming force is remove. This condition is called ELASTIG LAG or HYSTERESIS (LAGGING BEHIND) . In this case the stress ad the strain do not vary proportionaly Hence, Young Modulus for rubber is not constant.
Sample problem:
A steel rod 5 m long with a cross sectional area of 0.5 cm squared supports a load of 2.42 x102 N, How much the rod stretched ?
Given;
Y steel= 20x1010 N/m2
Where; F= 2.42 x102 N A= 0.5 cm squared L= 5m
1m2
Solution
F/A Y=-----L/L F.L L =-----Y.A
