if S is the stress and Y is youngs modulus of the material of wire ,what is the energy stored in the wire per unit volume in terms of S and Y?PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WITH DIAGRAM.
When a wire of original length L and area of cross-section A is subjected to a deforming force F, the wire get elongated by .
According to the Hook's law Y = stess/strain where stress =F/A and strain =/L. therfore
Y =F/A /(/L)
Now the work done
dW=F.dL =dL now integrate the equation we get
W=
Elastic energy per unit volume =1/2 *stress * strain
