Q

On a force-extension graph, what is happening when the graph is linear?

A

When the spring is stretched the extension is proportional to the force applied for a spring constant.

Q

What happens at the edge of the linear part of the Hooke’s Law graph? What happens when it curves?

A

This is the elastic limit. When the graph curves, plastic deformation takes place - a permanent response to a temporary force. This section of the graph is the plastic region.

Q

In mild steel, the metal first experiences e….c deformation before reaching the p….c region where extension is u….m along the rod. The material begins to n….k where the edges become thinner until it fractures.

Q

Why do materials get round edges when they are bended?

A

They are tougher and experience more plastic deformation before fracture.

17
Q

What is the Young Modulus formula?

A

E = stress/strain = F/A / x/l

18
Q

the Young Modulus is usually very l….e

A

Large.

19
Q

Young Modulus measures …

A

Stiffness.

20
Q

Why may the graph for Young Modulus not have a line through the origin?

A

Could be :

  • Systematic error
  • If the bottom line is for length that would be the starting length.
