Question 1

What is the formula for longitudinal strain?

  • ΔL / L0
  • ΔX / Y
  • Length / Area

💡 Hint: Consider how length changes in tension or compression.

Question 2

True or False: Shear strain only affects the length of materials.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a beam fixed at one end. If a force pulls on the free end creating a longitudinal strain of 0.01, calculate the new length if the original was 2 m.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for longitudinal strain.

Question 2

A rectangular sheet experiences a shear strain that reduces the right angle between its sides to 85 degrees. Calculate the angle change.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for angle change in shear strain.
