Elastic Potential Energy

An aluminium rod with Young's modulus Y=7.0×1010 N/m2Y = 7.0 \times 10^{10}\text{ N/m}^2 undergoes elastic strain of 0.04%0.04\%. The energy per unit volume stored in the rod in SI unit is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. u=12Yε2u = \dfrac{1}{2}Y\varepsilon^2 with ε=0.04%=4×10−4\varepsilon = 0.04\% = 4 \times 10^{-4}.
  2. u=12×7×1010×16×10−8=5600 J/m3u = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 10^{10} \times 16 \times 10^{-8} = 5600\text{ J/m}^3
  3. So the answer is (a) 5600.
