A 1.25 m long cable has a diameter 3.50 mm with a Young’s Modulus, E, of 9.75 x 109 N/m2 . When the wire is placed under tension, it experiences a stress of 202.52 x 106 N/m2 , the length of the cable extends by 36.35 mm. Calculate the force that the cable experiences under tension and the strain energy density (U/V) due to deformation. Give your answers in newtons (N) to 2 decimal places for the force; and in joules per cubic metre (J/m3 ) for the strain

Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).
