Homework 07

(1) Define the stress.

It is the force acting per unit area

F
(2) The stress is given by the relation ( Stress  )
A

N
(3) The measuring unit of the stress is ( 2
)
m

(4) What are the different types of the stress?

(1) Tension stress.

(2) Compression stress.

(3) Shear stress.

(5) Define the strain.

The fractional change in length

L
(6) The strain is given by the relation ( Strain  )
L0

(7) The measuring unit of the strain is (it has no measuring unit)

N
(8) The measuring unit of the Young's modulus is ( )
m2

(9) The value of Young's modulus depends on (the type of material)
