Young's Modulus

A measure of a material's stiffness or resistance to deformation under tensile stress.

Factors affecting Young's Modulus

The factors that influence Young's Modulus include: the material's composition, the temperature, the microstructure, and the presence of impurities or defects.

Strain (∆L/L)

The change in length of a material divided by the original length. It is a measure of the material's strain.

Slope (∆M/∆L)

The change in mass divided by the change in length of a material. It is the slope of the stress-strain curve.

Study Notes

Viscosity of a Liquid (Stock's Method)

  • Aim: To determine the viscosity of a liquid (glycerin) using Stoke's Law.
  • Tools:
    • One-ended closed glass tube filled with glycerin
    • Metal balls of various sizes
    • Metric ruler
    • Stopwatch
    • Micrometer/ruler
  • Purpose of dropping balls from one position: To reduce experimental errors and ensure consistent results.
  • Factors affecting viscosity: Temperature, molecular structure, intermolecular forces, pressure, impurities.
  • Calculation of viscosity:
    • Data collected includes: ball diameter (D), radius (r), radius squared (r²), time taken for fall (t), velocity (v).
    • Formula used in calculation: n = 5 * g * (ps - pl) * slope (where 'n' is viscosity; g = gravity, ps=density of sphere, pl = density of liquid, and the slope is derived from a graph of velocity vs radius squared).

Boyle's Law

  • Aim: To determine atmospheric pressure using Boyle's Law.
  • Tools:
    • Boyle's device (a U-shaped glass tube with one end closed)
    • Mercury
    • Thermometer
  • Why mercury: Mercury's high density, non-compressibility, and stability make it suitable for precise measurements.
  • Relationship between pressure and volume: Inversely proportional (P1V1 = P2V2)
  • Convex surface of mercury in tube: Cohesive forces between mercury molecules are stronger than adhesive forces between mercury and glass.
  • Calculation of atmospheric pressure: Data collected includes: initial volume, final volume, and corresponding pressure readings. The formula used for calculating atmospheric pressure is Pο= |-76|.

Young's Modulus of Elasticity
