State Hook's law
on what factors does the
modulus of elasticity of a subtance depend?
Asked by souravkheto234 | 17 Jun, 2021, 12:13: PM
Hooks law states that for small deformations the stress and strain are proportional to each other.
Thus, stress
strain

stress = Y × strain .......................... (1)
where Y is the proportionality constant and is known as modulus of elasticity.
Stress is restoring force per unit area . If F is the force applied and A is the area of cross section of the body,
Magnitude of the stress = F/A ...................(2)
Longitudinal strain is change in the length ΔL to the original length L of the body .
Longitudinal strain = ΔL / L ............................(3)
Using above equations (1), (2) and (3) , we get modulus of elsticity as
Y = ( F / A ) / ( ΔL / L )
From above expression, we know , modulus of elsticity depends on what factors are .
