A steel bar of length 4 meters and cross-sectional area 0.01 m² is subjected to a tensile force of 80,000 N. Calculate the elongation of the bar if the Young's modulus for steel is 2 x 1011 N/m².
Added by Julia W.
Step 1
- Length of the steel bar (L) = 4 meters - Cross-sectional area (A) = 0.01 m² - Tensile force (F) = 80,000 N - Young's modulus for steel (E) = 2 x 10²¹ N/m² Show more…

When a beam 6m. long with a cross sectional area 0f 19.4 square meters is subjected to a compressional force of 160000 N, its length is shortened by 4.5 mm. What is the young modulus of the beam?
A steel bar $100 \mathrm{~mm}$ (4.0 in.) long and having a square cross section $20 \mathrm{~mm}(0.8 \mathrm{in} .)$ on an edge is pulled in tension with a load of 89,000 $\mathrm{N}\left(20,000 \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{f}}\right)$ and experiences an elongation of $0.10 \mathrm{~mm}\left(4.0 \times 10^{-3}\right.$ in.). Assuming that the deformation is entirely elastic, calculate the elastic modulus of the steel.
