An aluminium cube with 1 cm edge is subjected to hydrostatic stress. What force acts on each face if the decrease in the volume is 1 percent?

Answer»


SOLUTION :The STRESS `sigma 0 = F//S`, where F is the applied force and S is the AREA of the SECTION where this force is distributed. Making use of the definition of the bulk modulus, we obtain
`F = KS epsilon = KS |(DeltaV)/V|` .
