The 10mm diameter rod is made of Kevlar 49. Determine the change in

length and the change in diameter.

Lenght of the rod = 100mm

Therefore there are two 80KN forces are pulling the rod from both

sides.

    0.815 mm

    Explanation:

    The rod in made of Kevlar 49, so it has an Young's modulus of

    E = 125 GPa

    The stiffness of a rod is given by:

    k = E * A / L

    k = E * π/4 * d^2 / L

    So:

    k = 125*10^9 * π/4 * 0.01^2 / 0.1 = 98.17 MN/m

    Of the pulling forces only one is considered because when you pull on something there is always another force on the other side of equal magnitude and opposite direction to maintain equilibrium.

    Hooke's law:

    Δl = P/k

    Δl = 80*10^3 / 98.17*10^6 = 0.000815 m = 0.815 mm
