PROBLEMS ON STRESS,STRAIN & ELONGATION

1. A nylon string has a diameter of 2 mm, pulled by a force of 100 N. Determine the
stress!
2. A cord has original length of 100 cm is pulled by a force. The change in length of the
cord is 2 mm. Determine the strain!
3. A string 4 mm in diameter has original length 2 m. The string is pulled by a force of
200 N. If the final length of the spring is 2.02 m, determine : (a) stress (b) strain (c)
Young’s modulus
4. A string has a diameter of 1 cm and the original length of 2 m. The string is pulled by
a force of 200 N. Determine the change in length of the string! Young’s modulus of
the string = 5 x 109 N/m2
5. Find the Young’s Modulus of a brass rod diameter 25 mm and of length 250 mm
Which is subjected to a tensile load of 50 kN when the extension of the rod is equal to
0.3 mm.
6. A circular rod of diameter 16 mm and 500 mm long is subjected to a tensile force 40
kN. The modulus of elasticity for steel may be taken as 200 kN/mm2. Find stress,
strain and elongation of the bar due to applied load.
