Wire Elongation

Young's Modulus · ch09-mechanical-properties-of-solids

See how elongation depends on length, area, and Young's modulus.

Controls

Length (m)2.00 m

Area (mm^2)1.00 mm^2

Young's modulus (GPa)200 GPa

force F20.00 N

Live values

\Delta L = \frac{FL}{AY}

Try this: Stiffness k = AY/L. Smaller A or larger L => more stretch for the same force.
