Find out longitudinal stress and tangential stress on a fixed block.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Longitudinal or normal stress `sigma_(1)=(100sin30^(@))/(5xx2)=5N//m^(2)`
Tangential stress `sigma_(2)=(100cos30^(0))/(5xx2)=5sqrt(3)m//s^(2)`

Shearing Stress And Tangential Stress

Stress & Strain

Assertion If length of a wire is halved, its Young's modulus of elasticity will become two times. Reason The ratio of longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain is called Young's modulus of elasticity.

Normal Stress

Shear stress.

The increase in length is l of a wire of length L by the longitudinal stress. Then the stress is protortional to

Elasticity: Longitudinal Stress & strain | Shear stress & shear strain | Volumetric stress and strain

According to Hooke's law, within the elastic limit stress/strain = constant. This constant depends on the type of strain or the type of force acting. Tensile stress might result in compressional or elongative strain, however, a tangential stress can only cause a shearing strain. After crossing the elastic limit, the material undergoes elongation and beyond a stage beaks. All modulus of elasticity are basically constants for the materials under stress. If stress/strain is x in elastic region and y in the region of yield, then
