To determine the modulus of elasticity of the material, we can use Hooke's Law, which states that the stress (σ) in a material is directly proportional to the strain (ε) it experiences.
The stress (σ) is given by the formula: σ = F / A
Where F is the axial force applied to the bar (60 kN) and A is the cross-sectional area of the bar (550 mm^2).
The strain (ε) is given by the formula: ε = ΔL / L
Where ΔL is the change in length of the bar (0.08 mm) and L is the original length of the bar (150 mm).
Using Hooke's Law, we can write: σ = E * ε
Where E is the modulus of elasticity we want to determine.
Rearranging the equation, we get: E = σ / ε
Substituting the values we have: E = (60 kN / 550 mm^2) / (0.08 mm / 150 mm)
Converting kN to N and mm to m: E = (60,000 N / 0.00055 m^2) / (0.00008 m / 0.15 m)
Simplifying the equation: E = 109,090,909 N/m^2
Therefore, the modulus of elasticity of the material is approximately 109,090,909 N/m^2.
