A material of Poisson's ratio 0.5. If a uniform rod it suffers a longitudinal strain of 2*10 -3, what is the percentage increase in volume?
A 1.25 m long cable has a diameter 3.50 mm with a Young’s Modulus, E, of 9.75 x 109 N/m2 . When the wire is placed under tension, it experiences a stress of 202.52 x 106 N/m2 , the length of the cable extends by 36.35 mm. Calculate the force that the cable experiences under tension and the strain energy density (U/V) due to deformation. Give your answers in newtons (N) to 2 decimal places for the force; and in joules per cubic metre (J/m3 ) for the strain energy density to 2 decimal places. Assume the cable is solid and the material is homogeneous.
suppose the length L of the uniform bar is 3.4 m and its weight is 180 N. Also, let the block's weight W = 310 N and the
angle 0 = 41°. The wire can withstand a maximum tension of 440 N. (a) What is the maximum possible distance x before the wire breaks? With the block placed at this maximum x, what are the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the bar from the hinge at A?
