Honors Physics Worksheet - Stress, Strain and Elasticity
This worksheet is designed to assess your understanding of stress, strain and elasticity. Refer to the tables in your book for various constants.

| A steel elevator cable supports a load of 900 kg. The cable has a diameter of 2 cm and an initial length of 24 m. Find the stress and the strain of the cable and the amount it stretches under the load. | ??? |
| A wire 2 m long stretches 1 mm when subjected to a load. What is the normal strain of the wire? | ??? |
| A 100-kg block hangs at the end of a thin copper wire of cross-sectional area 0.002 cm^2 and original length 20 cm. How much is the wire stretched by the weight of the block? Ignore the weight of the wire. | ??? |
| A uniform rope of cross-sectional area 0.50 cm^2 breaks when the tensile stress in it reaches 6 x 10^6 N/m^2. What is the maximum load that can be lifted by the rope? | ??? |
| A 90-kg mountain climber hangs from a nylon rope and stretches it by 25 cm. If the rope was originally 30 m long and its diameter 1 cm, what is Young's modulus of elasticity for the nylon? | ??? |
| If the force on each face of a cubical 1.0-m^3 piece of steel changes by 1.0 x 10^7 N, what is the resulting change in volume? | ??? |
