Given: Initial length = l, final length = 2l
Initial stress = S
Force is constant
To find: Final stress
Solution:
- According to Hooke's law, the force required to extend or compress the spring by some distance is proportional to that distance.
- The mathematical representation of Hooke's law is F= -kX, where F is the force applied to the spring, X is the displacement of the spring)
- Negative value demonstrates that the displacement of the spring once it is stretched; and k is the spring constant.
Stress = force/area
Stress is the force applied per unit area. It is a measure of deformation of the material.
Area = length × height
Height remains same.
force = stress × area
Since, force remains constant,
S × l = x × 2l
x = S/2
Therefore, the final stress will be half of the initial stress which is S/2.
