Question 1

What does Young's modulus measure?

  • Stiffness of a material
  • Shear resistance
  • Lateral contraction

💡 Hint: Think about how different materials react to forces.

Question 2

True or False: A high Poisson's ratio means more lateral contraction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the behavior of materials when force is applied.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cylindrical rod has a length of 2 m and a diameter of 0.05 m. If a tensile load of 2000 N is applied, calculate the elongation of the rod. Use E = 70 GPa.

💡 Hint: Use the formula ΔL = (σ*L)/(E) for elongation.

Question 2

Considering the relationship between E, G, and ν, if a material has E = 150 GPa and ν = 0.2, find the shear modulus G.

💡 Hint: Apply the relationship between Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and shear modulus.
