Results obtained from a tension test on a bar of uniform cross section 10 mm x 10 mm subjected to an axial pull of 8000 N were tabulated. The lateral dimensions of the bar were found to be changed to 9.9985 mm x 9.9985 mm while using a material having modulus of rigidity equal to 0.8 x 107 N/cm2. By determining the values for different moduli, identify the properties of material and establish the relationship between them. What changes will happen to the volume if the length of the bar is equal to 2.5 m? Based on the results obtained discuss how the elastic constants are related to the deformation of the bar?
