  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A stress-strain experiment was done on a plastic and the following data was noted on the plot of the experiment: ultimate tensile strength = 9000 psi, yield strength = 5000 psi, proportional limit = 4000 psi, strain-to-failure = 0.025, strain at yield = 0.020, stain at proportional limit = 0.015 . The original length of the sample was 4 inches. What was the modulus?

Answer to Question 1

Ultraviolet

Answer to Question 2

The modulus is calculated by examining only the slope of the stress-strain curve before yield, that is before and non-linear behavior is seen. Hence, the slope at the beginning of the experiment is stress at yield (5000 psi) divided by strain at proportional limit

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
