Calculating Linear Change in MgO Under 100 MPa Stress

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that calculating the linear change in magnesium oxide (MgO) under a stress of 100 MPa is indeed possible. The method involves applying Hooke's Law, which relates stress and strain in elastic materials. Specifically, the linear change can be determined using the formula: ΔL = (σ / E) * L0, where σ is the stress (100 MPa), E is the Young's modulus for MgO, and L0 is the original length of the material. This approach provides a clear and definitive method for calculating deformation under specified stress conditions.
