Homework Statement
Dear Yahoo Answers,
Can someone please help me with this as it's driving me crazy!
We had to complete an experiment where had to calculate the Young’s modulus of Rubber,
by doing an experiment.
So we used a rubber band and various weights to calculate the values, to hence calculate the Young's Constant.
Homework Equations
My values are as follows:
Force = 0.4 kg = 3.92 Newtons
Orginal Length = 50mm
Change in Length = 184.33mm
( Therefore Final Length = 234.33mm)
and Area = 2.5 mm^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Do these values look approximately correct,
and does the final Modulus value of 425 324.147 N/m^-2
look alright for that of rubber?
The problem of that would be that it's actually too small for the actual range for the Modulus,
between 0.1 and 0.01 * 10^9 N/m^2.
Clearing this up for me would be greatly appreciated.
Any help and/or contribution will be great appreciated too.
Thanks.
