Determine the stress. Radius is 2mm

Constructed by: Mohammad Ehsan Abdullah

GIVEN:

Force (F) = 200 N

Diameter (d) = 5 mm = 0.005 m
Radius (r) = 2 mm = 0.002 m

REQUIRED: The stress

SOLUTION:

Problem 5: A wire 2m long and 2mm long in diameter, when stretched by weight of
8kg has its length increased by 0.24 mm. Find the stress, strain, and Young’s
modulus of the material of the wire. g= 9.8 m/s2.
Constructed by: Pilapil, Kenneth
GIVEN: Initial length of wire = L 4m
Diameter of wire = 4mm
Radius of the wire 4/4= 1mm = 1x10-3m
weight attached = m= 8kg

Problem 6: Carlo wants to brace his teeth. A stainless-steel orthodontic wire is
applied to his tooth, as in the figure below. The wire has an unstretched length
of 3.3 cm and a diameter of 0.24 mm. If the wire is stretched 0.12 mm, find the
magnitude and direction of the force on the tooth. Disregard the width of the
tooth and assume the Young’s modulus for stainless is 20×1010 Pa.
