hey guys i have tried this problem many times and can't figure out the answer. please help
Heres the problem:
Figure 12-56 shows the stress versus strain plot for an aluminum wire that is stretched by a machine pulling in opposite directions at the two ends of the wire. The scale of the stress axis is set by s = 5.50, in units of 10^7 N/m2. The wire has an initial length of 0.950 m and an initial cross-sectional area of 2.50 × 10^-6 m2. How much work does the force from the machine do on the wire to produce a strain of 1.90 × 10^-3?
This is my work:
W=.5(stress)(strain)(volume)
volume=(area)(lenght)
And i get .124094.
What am i doing wrong?
