    Different materials - Elastic modulus

    Hi This looks like an easy question but I'm stumped and would appreciate some help. A rod is made of two sections joined end to end. The sections are identical, except that one is steel and the other is brass. While one end is held fixed, the other is pulled to result in a change in...

    What is the relationship between bulk modulus and pressure in an ideal gas?

    The questions is that The equation of state (the equation relating pressure, volume, and temperature) for an ideal gas is pV=nRT, where n and R are constants. a.) Show that if the gas is compressed while the temperature T is held constant, the bulk modulus is equal to the pressure. b.)...

    How Do You Determine Atomic Distance from Density and Molar Mass?

    Heres my problem. Youngs modulus for lead: 1.6exp10 N/m^2. Density of Lead: 11,4g/cm^3. Mass of one mole lead: 207g Model the interactions as if they were connected by springs. Determine distance between lead atoms and approx spring constant. Easy enough Y= K/d But what is bugging me...

    Finding yield stress with only modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio?

    Is it possible to find the yield stress of a material with only modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio? I was given a problem that: What is the min. aluminum needed to support a block (10 Newton) to 1 meter high? E=70GPa and v=0.3 are the only given aluminum properties. I would know...

    Is Squaring the Best Method to Solve Absolute Value Quadratic Equations?

    I need to solve: \left| 2x-3 \right| = 5 - x^2 I started by squaring the equation because modulus functions can only be positive and obtained: x^4 -14x^2 +12x +1 = 0 I haven't olved any quadnomial equations before, so I don't know where to start. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Understanding Modulus Equations and Their Applications: A Clarification Guide

    hi I've been reading through some notes and I can't see where a step comes from. I understand that |x| = \left\{\begin{array}{cc} x,& \mbox{ if } x\geq 0\\-x, & \mbox{ if } x \leq0 \end{array}\right The equation I'm stuck on reads as f(x) = 1 - | 1- x | \mbox{on} [-2,2] =...

    Proving on modulus and conjugates

    I am proving that (sqrt)2 |z| >= |Re z| + |Im z|. The professor gave this as an example, but I want to ask something... Why is it that I can't use this strategy: -> |Re z| <= |z| -> |Im z| <= |z| -> adding corresponding expression yields |Re z| + |Im z| <= 2|z|. (what's wrong here?)

    What is the derivative of a modulus function?

    Feeling a little bit more confident about my calculus skills I was hoping to check if this is correct. Let’s say you have: g(|f(x)|) And you want to take the derivative with respect to x, well using the chain rule you get: \bigl( g(|f(x)|) \bigr)' = (|f(x)|)' g'(|f(x)|) Looking more...

    Complex numbers and modulus problem

    Suppose z1 = a + bi, z2 = c + di are complex numbers. When does |z1 + z2| = |z1| - |z2|? (with || is modulus) It seems obvious that this is the case when z2 = 0, but are there other solutions? According to the book, no. But after 2 days, I still cannot solve it! :cry: Here is what I...

    Young's Modulus for Two Materials connected

    If Aluminum and steel are connected as one rod, and are attached to the wall and is pulled upon. How would the change in length for each material of the rod be calculated? I'm given that the Aluminum section is twice as long as the steel section, and the total change in length of the whole rod...

    What is the explanation for this discrepancy?

    When I calculate the Bulk modulus for a metall with the free electron model I get a value that is twice the experimental value. I find this strange. With the free electron model i don't get the contribution from the ion cores and the bound electrons, right? Do these have a negavite...

    Why the modulus signs when integrating f'(x)/f(x)?

    I am able to proove to myself, through generalised substitution, that the integral of f'(x)/f(x) is lnf(x)+c, but where do the modulus signs come from? ie - The accepted integral is ln|f(x)|+c, not lnf(x)+c Thanks in advance. :smile:

    Youngs Modulus and Elastic Modulus

    I am doing my A2 physics coursework of the bending of cantilevers [zz)] I hung masses on a steel bar and measured the deflection, and then used a formula to calculate the Youngs Modulus of the steel, but the answer I got was way out - 9.6X10^9 instead of 200X10^9. Is this because I calculated...
