Question

Derive an expression for the elastic potential energy of a wire under stress.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hooke's Law, F = -kx, where F is the force and x is the elongation. The energy stored can be found from integrating by substituting for force, The energy stored = kx2/2, where x is the final elongation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hooke's Law, F = -kx, where F is the force and x is the elongation. The energy stored can be found from integrating by substituting for force, The energy stored = kx2/2, where x is the final elongation. ...
