Great question. Young's modulus is a material/intrinsic property of the material and is constant regardless of the change in dimension of the test specimen. Y = Stress/ Strain = F*L/A*dl Assume if you change the L to L/2 and r to r/2 i.e A to A/4 and Force required to get the same extension is also F/2,...

Great question. Young's modulus is a material/intrinsic property of the material and is constantregardless of the change in dimension of the test specimen. Y = Stress/ Strain = F*L/A*dl Assume if you change the L to L/2 and r to r/2 i.e A to A/4 and Force required to get the same extension is also F/2, above equation becomes Y = 4*F*L/4*A*dl =F*L/A*dl ( Same as above) Happy learning!!! read less

Force of 16N and 12N are acting on a mass of 200kg in mutually perpendicular directions. Find the magnitude of the acceleration produced.
Resultant force F= sqrt (16^2+12^2) => F=20N So F=ma => a=F/m=20/200 => a=0.1 ms-2
