Stress, strain and Young modulus

Card 1 of 20

Define extension xxx in terms of length.

A

x=original length−final lengthx = \text{original length} - \text{final length}x=original length−final length

B

Tensile stress is defined by the equation σ=FA\sigma = \frac{F}{A}σ=AF​ and is measured in pascals (Pa).

C

x=final lengthoriginal lengthx = \frac{\text{final length}}{\text{original length}}x=original lengthfinal length​

D

x=final length−original lengthx = \text{final length} - \text{original length}x=final length−original length
