Question

The figure shows the stress versus strain plot for an aluminum wire that is stretched by a machine pulling in opposite directions at the two ends of the wire. The scale of the stress axis is set by s = 10.5, in units of 107 N/m2. The wire has an initial length of 0.800 m and an initial cross-sectional area of 2.60

The figure shows the stress versus strain plot for an aluminum wire that is stretched by a machine pulling in opposite directions at the two ends of the wire. The scale of the stress axis is set by s = 10.5, in units of 10^7 N/m^2. The wire has an initial length of 0.800 m and an initial cross-sectional area of 2.60? 10^-6 m^2. How much work does the force from the machine do on the wire to produce a strain of 2.00? 10^-3?

Explanation / Answer

The relation betweem stress and elongation is

stress = e/L

e = stress L = 2.00 * 10 ^-3 ( 0.800 m ) = 1.6 * 10 ^-3

stress can be expressed a s

stress = F/A

F = stress A = 10.5 * 10 ^7 N/m^2 ( 2.6 * 10 ^-6 m^2 ) = 273 N

the strain energy in the wire

E = (1/2)   F e = ( 0.5 ) 273   N ( 1.6 * 10 ^-3) = 218 .4 mJ
