8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
easy
A uniform plank of Young’s modulus $Y $ is moved over a smooth horizontal surface by a constant horizontal force $F.$ The area of cross section of the plank is $A.$ The compressive strain on the plank in the direction of the force is
A
$F/AY$
B
$2F/AY$
C
$\frac{1}{2}(F/AY)$
D
$3F/AY$
Solution
(a) $Y = \frac{{F/A}}{{{\rm{Strain}}}} \Rightarrow {\rm{strain}} = \frac{F}{{Ay}}$
