Homework Statement
Calculate the deflection at the end of a rod whose dimensions are 1m x 0.1m x 0.1m, when a load of 100N is applied. The modulus of elasticity is given as 1 x 1011 (N/m2)
Homework Equations
d = PL/AE where
d = end deflection of bar in metres (in m)
P = the applied load in Newtons (N)
L = length of the bar (in m)
A = cross sectional area of bar (in m2)
E = modulus of elasticity (in N/m2)
The Attempt at a Solution
d = PL/AE
d = 100N x 1m/1-4(1 x 1011)
d = 100Nm/1-4 x 1 x 1-4 x 1011
d = 1-05
I'm not sure if I've calculated that in the right order, or if I have missed any steps. I'm a little bit lost on how to approach this problem!
