Homework Statement
A rod is made up as shown [pic attached]
Both have same cross-sectional area. Ep and En are Young modulus.
The rod breaks when total extension = 3.0mm
Greatest tensile stress that can be applied before rod breaks?
Homework Equations
Young modulus = stress / strain
The Attempt at a Solution
Ans: 5.7 x 10^6 Pa.
Won't it break when the one of the 2 materials breaks? Can you please tell me the concepts to be used. How to solve?
Thanks
