Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cylindrical rod with an initial length of 1 m is stretched until its length becomes 1.02 m. If the rod has a diameter of 1 cm, calculate the stress experienced by the rod knowing the material's Young's Modulus is 200 GPa.

💡 Hint: Ensure to calculate linear strain first.

Question 2

A cube with a volume of 2 m³ is subjected to hydrostatic pressure of 500 kPa, causing its volume to change to 1.95 m³. Calculate the volumetric strain and pressure change.

💡 Hint: Utilize volumetric strain calculation first to establish how pressure affects the volume.
