the young’s modulus of aluminum is 69gpa, of nylon is 3gpa, of tungsten is 400gpa, and of copper is 117gpa. if equal-size samples were put under equivalent tensile stresses, how would you rank the materials by the degree to which they would be elongated?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Least to most elongated: tungsten, copper, aluminum, nylon.

Explanation:

Materials with high Young's modulus are difficult to stretch. σ = Yε and ε = ΔL/L so an object with a high Young's modulus (Y) subject to a certain tensile stress (σ) will have a smaller strain than an object with a smaller Young's 's modulus subject to the same tensile stress. If strain (ε) is smaller, then ΔL will also be smaller.
