Question

in the equation below what is the appropriate unit for modulus elasticity (E) if the equation is to be homogeneous in units 

d = PL/AE

d = deflection (m)

P = applied force (N)

L = length of bar (m)

A = cross sectional area of bar (m2)

E = modulus of elasticity

Expert Solution
Step 1

given,

d = deflection (m)

P = applied force (N)

L = length of bar (m)

A = cross sectional area of bar (m2)

E = modulus of elasticity
