    Limit Proportional
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the proportional limit of an alloy bar, one must use the stress-strain relationship derived from the given load and dimensions. The proportional limit is determined by identifying the maximum stress that the material can withstand while still exhibiting linear elastic behavior. The user successfully calculated the modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio before seeking clarification on the proportional limit. After some discussion, the user resolved their query independently. Understanding the relationship between stress, strain, and material properties is crucial for accurate calculations.

I am given the length, elongated length, original diameter and reduced diameter of a alloy bar, and the load carried. I need to calculate the mod of elasticity, poisson's ratio and the proportional limit for the material. Got the first 2, how do I calculate the proportional limit? My book it quite vague, as if its obvious, which I'm sure that it is but I missed it, can anyone tell me what i need to do? Thanks

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
