Question

A force of 40n is applied at the end of a wire 4m and produces an extension of 0.24mm.if the distance of the wire is 2.00mm. calculate the stress and strain in the wire.

To calculate stress, we use the formula:

Stress = Force / Area

Given:
Force = 40N
Extension = 0.24mm = 0.00024m
Original length = 4m
Original distance = 2mm = 0.002m

Area = π * (d/2)^2
d = 2mm = 0.002m

Area = π * (0.001m)^2 = π * 0.000001m^2 = 0.0000031416m^2

Stress = 40N / 0.0000031416m^2 = 12,732,800 Pa

To calculate strain, we use the formula:

Strain = Extension / Original length

Strain = 0.00024m / 4m = 0.00006

Therefore, the stress in the wire is 12,732,800 Pa and the strain is 0.00006.
