Applied Loads, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio
The Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio for copper are 124.8 GPa and 0.36 respectively. When a tensile load is applie to a 1.5cm diameter copper rod, the diameter is reduced to 1.498cm. WHat is the correct applied load?
a) 81,640N
b) 73,500N
c) 82,550N
