A metal wire 3.50 m long and 0.70 mm in diameter was given the following test. A load weighing 20 N was originally hung from the wire to keep it taut. The position of the lower end of the wire was read on a scale as load was added.a. Graph these values, plotting the increase in length horizontally and the added load vertically.b. Calculate the value of Youngs modulus.c. The proportional limit occurred at a scale reading of 3.34 cm. What was the stress at this point?

A 100-N weight is attached to a free end of a metallic wire that hangs from the ceiling. When a second 100-N weight is added to the wire, it stretches 3.0 mm. The diameter and the length of the wire are 1.0 mm and2.0 m, respectively. What is Young’s modulus of the metal used to manufacture the wire?
Artificial diamonds can be made using high-pressure, high-temperature presses. Suppose an artificial diamond of volume 1.00 106 m3 is formed under a pressure of 5.00 GPa. Find the change in its volume when it is released from the press and brought to atmospheric pressure. Take the diamonds bulk modulus to be B = 194 GPa.
During heavy lifting, a disk between spinal vertebrae is subjected to a 5000-N compressional force. (a) What pressure is created, assuming that the disk has a uniform circular cross section 2.00 cm in radius?

One end of a vertical metallic wire of length 2.0m and diameter 1.0mm is attached to a ceiling, and the other end is attached to a 5.0N weight pan, as shown below. The position of the pointer before the pan is 4.000cm . Different weights are then added to the pan area, and the position of the pointer is recorded in the table shown. Plot stess versus strain for this wire, then the use the resulting curve to determine Young’s modulus and the proportionality limit of the metal. What metal is this most likely to be?
