Question
Consider a metal bar of length L, cross-sectional area A, and Young's modulus Y. When a tension
force F is applied to the bar, it causes an extension AL. Model the material as a cubic lattice,
where the atoms lie at the corners of the cubes and are connected by springs with equilibrium
length x. Calculate the force constant k of the atomic springs by deriving expressions for
(1) the number of atoms in any cross-sectional area,
(2) the number of atoms in a single chain of length L,
(3) the microscopic extension Ax between atoms,
(4) the tensile force f between atoms,
(5) write f = kAr and show that k = Yr,
(6) calculate the value of k for a typical metal such as aluminum, for which Y = 70 GN/m² and
x = 0.4 nm.
