•Real objects are not rigid but can deform
under the influence of an external force.
•Remember: Hooke’s Law F=-kx
Elastic Properties of SolidsElastic Properties of Solids
•Length (Tensile Stress- Strain)

• Tensile Stress = Y x Tensile Strain
•Y is known as Young’s Modulus
•Units of Y are N/m

Ex: #30
•A steel wire of diameter 1mm can
support a tension of 0.2kN. A cable to
support a tension of 20kN should have a
diameter of what order of magnitude?
•Ans: 1cm

•Note that ΔF/A is pressure.
Ex:#35
When water freezes, it expands by about 9%.
What pressure increase would occur inside
your automobile engine block if the water in it
froze?

•How is ΔL affected
when you have
two same springs
in series or in
parallel pulled by
the same force?
