A physics lab consists of a large ball attached to a wire. Students hold on to one end of the wire, then whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass= 320 gram, wire length= 1.3m, number of rotations/sec= 2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young’s modulus of 20x1010 N/m2. How much does the wire stretch due to the tension on it? Should the students correct their data for the wire stretching?

Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).
