Physics Chapter 16: Properties of Solid 1.

A change of the size and shape of an object under the action of a force is called ________________. 2. State the five types of solid deformations:

3. _____________ deformation occurs when two equal forces but different directions are applied to the ends of a rod causing the rod to elongate or extend. 4. _____________ deformation occurs when two forces of equal magnitude but opposite directions used to press an rod inwards. 5. _____________ deformation occurs when two ends of a bar is twisted by two forces. 6. _____________ deformation occurs when a weight is placed at one end of a bar with the other end fixed. 7. Indicate the types of the following deformations: a.

b. D

c.

8. The ability of a body to return to its original size and shape after deformation is known as ______________. 9. What is elastic deformation?

10. What is elastic limit?

11. What is plastic deformation?

12. The materials that have high elastic limits are called ____________; the materials that have low elastic limit is called ________________. 13. Define Hookes Law.

14. When a force of 5N is applied onto a spring, the spring elongates 4cm. What is the coefficient of stiffness of the spring?

15. A spring with initial length of 5cm. If the coefficient of stiffness of the spring is 10N/m, what is the final length of the spring when it is pulled with 10N of force?

16. What force is needed to extend a spring with coefficient of stiffness of 5N/m by 20cm?

17. A force which acts perpendicularly to a surface is call a ____________. 18. Define pressure.

19. Pressure can be increased by ____________ the area of contact; pressure can be decreased by ___________ the area of contact. 20. A student weighs 500N sits on a chair which has a contact area of 15cm2 with the floor. Calculate the pressure the chair exerts on the floor.

21. What is the force required to produce a pressure of 6 x 105 Pa if the nail has a contact area of 0.8cm2 with the wall.

22. Thrust acting per unit are is known as ________________.
