Answer:
The resulting strain is [tex]1.39\times 10^{-3}[/tex].
Explanation:
A specimen of copper having a rectangular cross section 15.2 mm × 19.1 mm
Force, F = 44,500 N
Th elastic modulus of Cu to be 110 GPa
The resulting strain is given by the formula as follows :
[tex]\epsilon=\dfrac{F}{AE}[/tex]
E is elastic modulus of Cu is are of cross section
[tex]\epsilon=\dfrac{44500}{15.2\times 19.1\times 10^{-6}\times 110\times 10^9}\\\\\epsilon=1.39\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
So, the resulting strain is [tex]1.39\times 10^{-3}[/tex].
