Serway & Jewett — Static Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem 42
Review. A wire of length \(L\), Young’s modulus \(Y\), and cross-sectional area \(A\) is stretched elastically by an amount \(\Delta L\). By Hooke’s law, the restoring force is \(-k \Delta L\). (a) Show that \(k = YA/L\). (b) Show that the work done in stretching the wire by an amount \(\Delta L\) is \(W = \frac{1}{2} YA(\Delta L)^2/L\).
