A cylinder of an unknown length made of copper is used being used to support a roof is deformed elastically in tension by a force. The diameter of the cylinder is 25 mm. The reduction in diameter is 3*10^-3 mm Given the following information, what is the Stress experienced by the cylinder?
modulus of elasticity for copper:110 GPA
Poissons ratio for copper:0.34
Given, The diameter of the cylinder is, d =
25mm                         
The reduction in diameter is, 
 =
          Modulus
of elasticity for copper is,E = 110 GPa
               
Poissons ratio for copper,
= 0.34
We Know, Modulus of rigidity, 
where, E is modulus of elasticity
          
 is poissons ratio
Also, Modulus of rigidity,
                                                                                                                         
Answer,Stress acting on the cylinder
