Q

Hooke’s Law

A

-If a material responds to tensile forces in a way in which the extension produced is proportional to the applied force (load), we say it obeys Hooke’s Law

Q

limit of proportionality

A

is the point beyond which Hooke’s law is no longer true when stretching a material i.e. the extension is no longer proportional to the applied load

–The point is identified on the graph where the line is no longer straight and starts to curve (flattens out)

Q

k is the spring constant

A

of the spring and is a measure of the stiffness of a spring

  • A stiffer spring will have a larger value of k
  • It is defined as the force per unit extension up to the limit of proportionality (after which the material will not obey Hooke’s law)
  • The SI unit for the spring constant is N m-1

Q

Stress (or tensile stress)

A

Tensile stress is the applied force per unit cross sectional area of a material

-The ultimate tensile stress is the maximum force per original cross-sectional area a wire is able to support until it breaks σ = F/A.

σ-stress(Pa) F=Force(N) A=Cross-sectional area (m^2)

Q

Strain

A
  • Strain is the extension per unit length
  • This is a deformation of a solid due to stress in the form of elongation or contraction
  • Note that strain is a dimensionless unit because it’s the ratio of lengths ε = x/L ε-strain x-extension(m) L-length (m)

Q

Young’s Modulus

A
  • The Young modulus is the measure of the ability of a material to withstand changes in length with an added load ie. how stiff a material is
  • This gives information about the elasticity of a material
  • The Young Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress and strain Young’s modulus = stress/strain = (FL0)/A(Ln − L0). -its unit is the same as stress: Pa (since strain is unitless)

Young’s Modulus Experiment diagram look

17
Q

Method of determining young modulus experiment

A
  1. Measure the original length of the wire using a metre ruler and mark this reference point with tape
  2. Measure the diameter of the wire with micrometer screw gauge or digital calipers
  3. Measure or record the mass or weight used for the extension e.g. 300 g
  4. Record initial reading on the ruler where the reference point is
  5. Add mass and record the new scale reading from the metre ruler
  6. Record final reading from the new position of the reference point on the ruler
  7. Add another mass and repeat method
18
Q

Young’s Modulus Experiment

Improving experiment and reducing uncertainties:

A
  • Reduce uncertainty of the cross-sectional area by measuring the diameter d in several places along the wire and calculating an average
  • Remove the load and check wire returns to original limit after each reading
  • Take several readings with different loads and find average
  • Use a Vernier scale to measure the extension of the wire
19
Q

Elastic deformation:

A

when the load is removed, the object will return to its original shape

20
Q

Plastic deformation:

A

when the load is removed, the object will not return to its original shape or length. This is beyond the elastic limit

21
Q

Elastic limit:

A

the point beyond which the object does not return to its original length when the load is removed

22
Q

Brittle and ductile materials

A
  • Brittle materials have very little to no plastic region e.g. glass, concrete.
  • The material breaks with little elastic and insignificant plastic deformation
  • Ductile materials have a larger plastic region e.g. rubber, copper. The material stretches into a new shape before breaking
23
Q

To identify these materials on a stress-strain or force-extension graph up to their breaking point

A

—A brittle material is represented by a straight line through the origins with no or negligible curved region —A ductile material is represented with a straight line through the origin then curving towards the x-axis

24
Q

Area under a Force-Extension Graph

A

-The work done in stretching a material is equal to the force multiplied by the distance moved -Therefore, the area under a force-extension graph is equal to the work done to stretch the material -The work done is also equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the material

25
Q

For the region where the material obeys Hooke’s law

A

the work done is the area of a right angled triangle under the graph

26
Q

For the region where the material doesn’t obey Hooke’s law

A

the area is the full region under the graph. To calculate this area, split the graph into separate segments and add up the individual areas of each

27
Q

Elastic Potential Energy

A

-Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy stored within a material (e.g. in a spring) when it is stretched or compressed -It can be found from the area under the force-extension graph for a material deformed within its limit of proportionality

28
Q

Calculating Elastic Potential Energy

A

Hooke’s Law: F= kx EPE = 1/2Fx = 1/2(kx)x

-Elastic potential energy can be derived from Hooke’s law Elastic potential energy = 1/2 kx^2
