Question

A flax fibre of length 0.24 m is stretched by 1.5 mm. The Young&#x27;s modulus of flax is 3.0 x 10^10

First, we need to find the strain in the fiber. Strain is defined as the change in length divide

A flax fibre of length 0.24 m is stretched by 1.5 mm. The Young's modulus of flax is 3.0 x 10^10 N m^-2. (a) Calculate the strain in the fibre. (b) Calculate the stress in the fibre, in units of MN m^-2. Give your answers to 2 significant figures. (a) Strain: (b) Stress: MN m^-2
