Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula sigma = fracepsilon_texttransverseepsilon_textlongitudinal u = frac12 Y epsilon_textlongitudinal^2 ### Core Logic Given parameters: - Young's modulus, Y = 2.0 times 10^11mathrm~N/m^2 - Poisson's ratio, sigma = 0.2 - Transverse strain, epsilon_texttrans = 10^-3 First, calculate the longitudinal strain epsilon: sigma = fracepsilon_texttransepsilon implies 0.2 = frac10^-3epsilon epsilon = frac10^-30.2 = 5 times 10^-3 Now, compute the elastic potential energy density u: u = frac12 Y epsilon^2 = frac12 times (2.0 times 10^11) times (5 times 10^-3)^2 u = 10^11 times 25 times 10^-6 = 25 times 10^5mathrm~J/m^3 Expressing as x times 10^5, we have x = 25. ### Step 1: Final Conclusion The value of the coefficient is 25. ### Pattern Recognition Poisson's ratio is defined as the ratio of lateral/transverse strain to longitudinal strain. Use this to determine the longitudinal stretch, then apply the basic potential energy density formula frac12 Y epsilon^2 directly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Solids
