this is the problem as our professor gave it to us
"A steel alloy bar (modulus of elasticity of 205 GPa) is 20mm in diameter and experiances an
elastic deformation by applying a force along its axis (IE pulling it apart perpendicular to the
circular cross section). Determine the force needed to cause a .003mm diameter reduction."
is it even possible to do the problem without the ratio? if so where do I start?
2. Homework Equations I Know stress =f/a, and strain = Δl/l and hooke's law σ=Eεz. as you can see he didn't give us possion's ratio, used in εz=-εx/v.
I've tried setting it up multiple ways, but each time i have more unknowns that equations. I emailed my instructor but he hasn't answered
Thanks!
