Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A steel wire with a length of 10 m and cross-sectional area of 2 x 10^-6 m² is stretched by a force of 5000 N. Calculate the elongation of the wire if Young's modulus for steel is 2 x 10^11 N/m².
💡 Hint: Refer back to the relationship between elongation, force, and modulus.
Considering a stress-strain curve, what would happen to a ductile material at the ultimate tensile strength if the load keeps increasing?
💡 Hint: Think about how ductility affects material failure.
