How would you test the notion that a steel ball is elastic?
A bridge, which made of carbon-steel, is expected to subject to 100 tons. Explain how you could decide that the bridge will either deform elasticity, just deform plasticity, or or it will fracture.
A steel cylinder is placed on top of a brass cylinder.
Each cylinder is 30 cm tall and has a diameter of 10
cm. Upon a load of 20 kg being placed on top of a
steel cylinder, by how much will the length of a brass
cylinder be compressed?

- The figure presents the stress as a function of the common strain for a ductile metal under a given stress. From the previous graph and the exposition on this subject. Which of the following statements is true? Answers: a) The proportional limit is a point that defines two regions: where Hooke's law for elastic behavior holds and does not hold. This point on the graph is marked with the letter b. b) If the charge is removed from the material at any point from O to point b, the material does not return to its original shape and energy is not conserved. c) From O to point a, there is an elastic behavior of the material and presents a linear trend, Hooke's law is fulfilled. d) The maximum stress that can be applied to a material without permanently deforming is indicated in the graph by point d.arrow_forwardCompute the modulus of elasticity of a copper alloy wire thatstretches 14 mm when subjected to a load of 320 N.

- The mountains of the Himalayas are slightly less dense than the mantle material upon which they “float.” Do you suppose that, like floating icebergs, they are deeper than they are high?arrow_forwardFluids have a surface tension, which means that requires that creating more surface requires energy. In order to create more water surface (for example, water spreading over a table top), an energy cost must be paid of about 73 mJ/m2. Lets say you have water in a rectangular container that is 35 cm by 20 cm. Now you want to stretch the longer side by 4 cm. With what force does the surface tension of the water resist that change? Answer in Newtons to four decimal places.arrow_forward......show solutionsarrow_forward
