QUESTIONS:
Note that the wire fails at a stress
which is 100 x less than Young's modulus. Can you understand why the two
values are not inconsistent? (Hint: If the stress equaled
, what
would be the strain?).
Could you notice the decrease in diameter of the wire in this experiment by use of a micrometer caliper? If so, try it.
