U7 WS1 Elasticity

This document provides a physics worksheet with 9 questions about mechanical properties of solids. The questions cover definitions of stress and Young's modulus, the dimensional formula for Young's modulus, the value of Young's modulus for a rigid body, calculating ratios of elongation for wires under the same force, determining modulus of rigidity from Young's modulus, why solids are more elastic than gases, calculating potential energy of springs at different lengths of stretching, determining displacement given parallel shifting of cube faces under opposing forces, and calculating wire elongation given angular velocity, mass, wire properties, and Young's modulus.
