Modulus Of Elasticity:
Where stress is the force causing the deformation divided by the area to
which the force is applied and strain is the ratio of the change in some
length parameter caused by the deformation to the original value of the
length parameter.
where
E is the Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity)
F is the force exerted on an object under tension;
A0 is the actual cross-sectional area through which the force is applied;
L is the amount by which the length of the object changes;
L0 is the original length of the object.
Units:
Young's modulus is the ratio of stress ,which has units of pressure to
strain ,which is dimensionless and so Young's modulus has units of
pressure. Its SI unit is therefore the pascal (Pa or N/m2 or m. kg.
PROCEDURE :
1. The experimental set-up to measure the spring
constants.
2. To start with, submit the helical spring to no stress.
