Anjali Iyer answered |
When a soild is compressed or elongated, it's P.E increases. Potential energy increases because work has to be done against force of repulsion during compression and against force of attraction during elongation.

Nandini Iyer answered |
A ductile material is one that can withstand a large amount of plastic deformation between the elastic limit and the fracture point.
A material that breaks suddenly when elongated or fracture occurs in it soon after the elastic limit is crossed is called a brittle material.
A ductile material that exhibits extra elongation or deformation and does not fracture is also referred as superplastic material.

Given:
- The flood lamp stretches the wire by 0.18 mm
- The stress is proportional to the strain
To find:
- How much would it have stretched if the wire had the same length but twice the diameter
Let's begin by understanding the given information.
Stress is defined as the force per unit area and is denoted by the symbol σ (sigma). Mathematically, stress is given by:
σ = F / A
where F is the force applied and A is the area over which the force is applied.
Strain is defined as the change in length per unit length and is denoted by the symbol ε (epsilon). Mathematically, strain is given by:
ε = ΔL / L
where ΔL is the change in length and L is the original length.
From the given information, we know that the stress is proportional to the strain. This can be expressed mathematically as:
σ ∝ ε
or
σ = kε
where k is a constant of proportionality.
Now, let's apply this information to the problem at hand.
When the flood lamp is hung from the wire, it exerts a force on the wire which causes it to stretch. Let's assume that the original diameter of the wire is d and the original length is L.
From the given information, we know that the stress is proportional to the strain. Therefore, we can write:
σ = kε
where σ is the stress, k is a constant of proportionality, and ε is the strain.
The stress can be calculated using the formula:
σ = F / A
where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.
The force applied is the weight of the flood lamp, which can be calculated using the formula:
F = mg
where m is the mass of the flood lamp and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The cross-sectional area of the wire can be calculated using the formula:
A = πd^2 / 4
where d is the diameter of the wire.
Therefore, we can write:
σ = (mg) / (πd^2 / 4)
The strain can be calculated using the formula:
ε = ΔL / L
where ΔL is the change in length and L is the original length.
From the given information, we know that the flood lamp stretches the wire by 0.18 mm. Therefore, we can write:
ε = 0.18 / L
Now, let's combine the equations for stress and strain:
σ = kε
σ = (mg) / (πd^2 / 4)
ε = 0.18 / L
Substituting the values of σ and ε, we get:
(mg) / (πd^2 / 4) = k (0.18 / L)
Simplifying, we get:
k = (mgL) / (0.18πd^2)
Now, let's use this value of k to calculate the change in length when the diameter of the wire is doubled.
When the diameter of the wire is doubled, the cross-sectional area of the wire becomes 4 times the original area. Therefore, the new diameter is 2d and the new cross-sectional area is:
A' = π(2d)^2 / 4 = 4πd^2
Using the same formula for stress,
- The flood lamp stretches the wire by 0.18 mm
- The stress is proportional to the strain
To find:
- How much would it have stretched if the wire had the same length but twice the diameter
Let's begin by understanding the given information.
Stress is defined as the force per unit area and is denoted by the symbol σ (sigma). Mathematically, stress is given by:

ε = ΔL / L
where ΔL is the change in length and L is the original length.
From the given information, we know that the stress is proportional to the strain. This can be expressed mathematically as:
σ ∝ ε
or
σ = kε
where k is a constant of proportionality.
Now, let's apply this information to the problem at hand.
When the flood lamp is hung from the wire, it exerts a force on the wire which causes it to stretch. Let's assume that the original diameter of the wire is d and the original length is L.

The force applied is the weight of the flood lamp, which can be calculated using the formula:
F = mg
where m is the mass of the flood lamp and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The cross-sectional area of the wire can be calculated using the formula:
A = πd^2 / 4
where d is the diameter of the wire.
Therefore, we can write:
σ = (mg) / (πd^2 / 4)
The strain can be calculated using the formula:
ε = ΔL / L
where ΔL is the change in length and L is the original length.
From the given information, we know that the flood lamp stretches the wire by 0.18 mm. Therefore, we can write:
ε = 0.18 / L
Now, let's combine the equations for stress and strain:
σ = kε
σ = (mg) / (πd^2 / 4)
ε = 0.18 / L
Substituting the values of σ and ε, we get:
(mg) / (πd^2 / 4) = k (0.18 / L)
Simplifying, we get:
k = (mgL) / (0.18πd^2)
Now, let's use this value of k to calculate the change in length when the diameter of the wire is doubled.
When the diameter of the wire is doubled, the cross-sectional area of the wire becomes 4 times the original area. Therefore, the new diameter is 2d and the new cross-sectional area is:
A' = π(2d)^2 / 4 = 4πd^2
Using the same formula for stress,

Lavanya Menon answered |
To answer this question you should know the definitions of tensile, compressive and shear stress.
Tensile stress causes change (increases the length of cylinder) in the length of the object, compressive strength changes the volume of the object (it can be applied from all sides of the object), shear stress is applied parallel to the surface of an object (in case of the cylinder shear stress will be parallel to circular surface) we can apply all the three stresses in case of cylinder hence option D is correct.

Om Desai answered |
Modulus of elasticity= stress/strain =(F/A)/(ΔL/L) So, for same stress Modulus of elasticity ∝( L/ΔL)and ΔL for rubber is more as compared to steel so Modulus of elasticity for rubber will be less as they are inversely proportional and also ΔL/L is less for steel

We know that magnitude of bulk modulus
K=[P/(dV/V)]
Now, percentage change in volume is. 10-3 %
Therefore, (dV/V)x100=10-3
So, dV/V=10-5
Hence, k is,
K=40atm/10-5=40x1.01x105 /10-5 =4.04x1011 N/m2
K=[P/(dV/V)]
Now, percentage change in volume is. 10-3 %
Therefore, (dV/V)x100=10-3
So, dV/V=10-5
Hence, k is,
K=40atm/10-5=40x1.01x105 /10-5 =4.04x1011 N/m2

Jayant Mishra answered |
The area under the stress-strain curve represents the mechanical energy per unit volume consumed by the material. This is true in the elastic range of the graph where the energy is reversibly sorted within the material. Area under the stress strain curve depicts the energy absorbed by the material prior to failure.

A body is said to be perfectly elastic when its coefficient of restitution is 1 or we observe total reformation in the body. That means that whatever hits it doesn't lose any of its kinetic energy or once the body gets totally reformed after a collision.

Rahul Bansal answered |
Tensile stress (or tension) is the stress state leading to expansion; that is, the length of a material tends to increase in the tensile direction. The volume of the material stays constant. When equal and opposite forces are applied on a body, then the stress due to this force is called tensile stress.

Let initial volume of the glass slab be V₀ and let the change in volume be ΔV.
Bulk modulus of elasticity (K) = (pressure * volume)/(volume change)
⇒ K = (10 atm * V₀)/(ΔV)
⇒ ΔV/V₀ = (10 atm * V₀)/K
⇒ ΔV/V₀ = (10 atm * V₀)/(37 × 10⁹ N/m²)
⇒ ΔV/V₀ = 2.7 × 10⁻⁶
Hence, the fractional change in volume of a glass slab, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atm, is 0.0027. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Introduction:
Hooke's Law is a principle in physics that relates the force applied to a spring or elastic material to the resulting deformation or change in length of the material. It states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the displacement or change in length of the spring.
Explanation:
The constant of proportionality in Hooke's Law is known as the modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus. It is represented by the symbol 'E' and is a measure of the stiffness or rigidity of a material. The modulus of elasticity signifies how much a material will deform when a force is applied to it.
Modulus of Elasticity:
The modulus of elasticity is a material property that describes how it responds to stress. It is defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limit of the material. In other words, it measures how much stress a material can withstand before it starts to deform permanently.
Modulus of Strain:
The modulus of strain is not a property used in Hooke's Law. Strain is the measure of deformation or change in length of a material, and the modulus of strain is not directly related to the constant of proportionality in Hooke's Law.
Elasticity of Wire:
The elasticity of a wire refers to its ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or deformed. It is related to Hooke's Law as the law describes the linear relationship between the force applied to a wire and the resulting deformation or change in length of the wire.
Modulus of Stress:
The modulus of stress is not a term used in Hooke's Law. Stress is defined as the force applied per unit area of a material, and the modulus of stress is not directly related to the constant of proportionality in Hooke's Law.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the constant of proportionality in Hooke's Law signifies the modulus of elasticity. It is a measure of the stiffness or rigidity of a material and describes how much a material will deform when a force is applied to it. The modulus of elasticity is a fundamental property used to understand the behavior of elastic materials and is essential in various fields such as engineering and materials science.

As the temperature increases, the inter-atomic distance also increases. So, it results in an increase in the area (stress = force /area). As the area increases stress decreases, this results in a decrease in Young's modulus.

Lavanya Menon answered |
Explanation:When external force is applied on the solid bodies, the solid bodies get deformed. The atoms or molecules are displaced from their equilibrium positions causing a change in the interatomic ( or intermolicular ) distances. When the deforming foce is removed, the interatomic forces tend to drive them back to their original postions. Thus the body regains its original shape and size.

Pooja Shah answered |
Explanation:
When a deforming force is applied to a body in a direction parallel to its surface, it produces a shear strain. Shear strain is the deformation that occurs when one layer of a material slides past another layer. This type of deformation produces shear stress, which is the force that is acting parallel to the surface of the material. Shear stress is calculated as the force per unit area and is expressed in units of pressure, such as pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).

Understanding Volume Strain
Volume strain is an important concept in mechanics and materials science that describes how a material deforms when subjected to external forces.
Definition of Volume Strain
- Volume strain is defined specifically as the ratio of the change in volume (ΔV) to the original volume (V0) of a material.
- Mathematically, it can be expressed as: Volume Strain = ΔV / V0.
Why Option B is Correct
- Change in Volume (ΔV): This represents the difference between the final volume after deformation and the initial volume before deformation.
- Original Volume (V0): This is the volume of the material before any external forces have been applied.
- Ratio Significance: By taking the ratio of the change in volume to the original volume, we obtain a dimensionless quantity that allows for comparison across different materials and conditions.
Other Options Explained
- Option A (Change in Volume V): This does not provide a comparative metric and lacks the necessary context of the original volume.
- Option C (Thrice the Original Volume): This is an arbitrary scaling that does not conform to the standard definition of volume strain.
- Option D (Twice the Original Volume): Similar to Option C, this does not reflect the true relationship defined in mechanics.
Conclusion
In conclusion, volume strain is fundamentally about understanding how a material's volume changes relative to its original volume, which is effectively captured by Option B. This definition is crucial for engineers and scientists to assess material behavior under stress.

An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (i. e., both viscosity and elasticity) and very weak intermolecular forces, and generally low Young's modulus and high failure strain compared with other materials. Elastomer rubber compounds are made from five to ten ingredients, each ingredient playing a specific role. Polymer is the main component, and determines heat and chemical resistance, as well as low- temperature performance. Reinforcing filler is used, typically carbon black, for strength properties.

Assertion: The stretching of a coil is determined by its shear modulus.
Reason: Shear modulus changes only the shape of a body while keeping its dimensions unchanged.
Explanation:
To understand the given assertion and reason, let's first define the terms involved:
- Stretching: It refers to the extension or elongation of a body when a force is applied to it.
- Coil: It is a helical structure usually made of a flexible material like metal wire, which can be stretched or compressed.
- Shear modulus: It is a measure of the rigidity of a material and represents its resistance to shearing forces. It quantifies the elasticity of a material in response to shear stress.
Now, let's analyze the assertion and reason:
Assertion: The stretching of a coil is determined by its shear modulus.
This means that the shear modulus of a coil material influences how much the coil can be stretched when a force is applied to it. In other words, the shear modulus determines the elasticity and flexibility of the coil material, which directly affects its stretching behavior.
Reason: Shear modulus changes only the shape of a body while keeping its dimensions unchanged.
This reason suggests that when a shear force is applied to a body, it deforms by changing its shape but not its dimensions. In the case of a coil, the shear modulus determines how much the coil can be deformed or stretched while maintaining its original dimensions.
Explanation of Correct Answer:
The correct answer is option 'A': If both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
The reason provided in the given statement aligns with the assertion. The shear modulus of a coil material indeed determines its stretching behavior, as it reflects the material's elasticity and flexibility. Additionally, the reason explains that the shear modulus only changes the shape of a body while keeping its dimensions constant, which is relevant to the stretching behavior of a coil.
Therefore, the assertion and reason are both true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
Reason: Shear modulus changes only the shape of a body while keeping its dimensions unchanged.

The reason provided in the given statement aligns with the assertion. The shear modulus of a coil material indeed determines its stretching behavior, as it reflects the material's elasticity and flexibility. Additionally, the reason explains that the shear modulus only changes the shape of a body while keeping its dimensions constant, which is relevant to the stretching behavior of a coil.
Therefore, the assertion and reason are both true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
The importance of the elastic behavior of materials is- a)that it is useful in making springs
- b)that it enables a safe and sound design of bridges, buildings, machinery parts.
- c)that it is useful in building sling shots
- d)that it gives methods for understanding materials
