STRENGTH OF MATERIALS (Unit conversion)

1) Load = kg (or) N (1 kg = 9.81 N)

2) Stress = N/m2 (N/ m2 = 10-6 N/mm2)
3) Area = mm2
4) Three moduli (Young’s modulus, Bulk modulus & Modulus of Rigidity)
= N/mm2 = MN/m2 = 106 N/m2
5) Rise in temperature, T = ˚C (or) degree
6) Co-efficient of linear expansion, α = 1/ ˚C
7) Strain energy, U = Nm = kNmm = J
8) Moment of inertia, I = mm4
9) Polar moment of inertia, J = mm4
10) Bending moment, M = Nm
11) Section modulus, Z = mm3
12) Deflection, y = mm
13) Slope ,θ = ˚ (or) degree (1 radian = 180/π degree)
14) Torque , T = Nm
15) Speed, N = rpm
16) Power = watts (W) = J/s = Nm/s
17) Stiffness = N/mm
