Deformation of solids

CIE-style questions assess Hooke's law, energy, stress, strain and Young modulus.

Objective question 1

Hooke's law applies while:

Objective question 2

On a force–extension graph, gradient in the linear region is:

Objective question 3

The area under a force–extension graph represents:

Objective question 4

Tensile strain is:

Objective question 5

Young modulus has unit:

Structured question 1

A 24 N force extends a spring by 0.080 m. Calculate its spring constant.

Structured question 2

Calculate the energy stored when that Hookean spring is extended by 0.080 m.

Structured question 3

A wire has stress 6.0 × 10⁷ Pa at strain 3.0 × 10⁻⁴. Calculate its Young modulus.
