Elasticity: Elasticity is that property of matter by virtue of which a body regains its original shape or size on the removal of the deforming force. a) Stress: The restoring force per unit area, set up inside the body is called stress. It is measured by the magnitude of the deforming force acting on unit area of the body within the elastic limit. Stress =
F A
where, F = Restoring force & A = Area of the body.
S.I. unit = N/m2 C.G.S. unit = dyne/cm2. Dimensions = [M L-1 T-2] b) Strain: The change produced in the dimensions of a body by a system of forces or couples in equilibrium, is called strain. It is measured by the ratio of change in length, volume and shape to its original length, volume and shape of the body. i.e. (Longitudinal strain, Volumetric strain and Shearing strain). It is dimension less quantity and has no unit. c) Hook’s Law: Hook’s law states that within elastic limit, the stress is directly proportional to the corresponding strain of the body. i.e. stress ∝ strain

Stress Strain
This constant of proportionality (E) is called modulus of elasticity. The modulus of elasticity divided into three types: 1) Young’s Modulus (Y): It is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain within the elastic limit is known as Young’s modulus. S.I. unit = N/m2 C.G.S. unit = dyne/cm2. Dimensions = [M L-1 T-2] 2) Modulus of Rigidity (η ): It is defined as the ratio of shearing stress to the shearing strain within the elastic limit is known as Modulus of rigidity. S.I. unit = N/m2 C.G.S. unit = dyne/cm2. Dimensions = [M L-1 T-2] 3) Bulk Modulus (Y): It is defined as the ratio of uniform and normal stress on the surface of the body to the volumetric strain within the elastic limit is known as Bulk modulus. S.I. unit = N/m2 C.G.S. unit = dyne/cm2. Dimensions = [M L-1 T-2] 2. Twisting couple on a cylinder (wire): Let us consider a cylindrical rod of length (l) and radius (r). The upper end of the rod is fixed and a twisting couple is applied at its lower end in a plane perpendicular to it’s as shown in Figure 2.1. Due to elasticity of the material of the rod, a restoring couple is set up in it to equal or oppose the twisting couple. Let the rod is twisted, a line AB on surface of the cylindrical shell takes up the position AB′ through an angle φ is the shear. To understand this, let the

3. Tortional Pendulum:
Figure 3.1 Arrangement of Tortional Pendulum. If one end of fairly thin and long wire is clamped to a rigid support and the other end is attached to the center of a heavy body (i.e. disc or sphere), then this arrangement is called the Tortional Pendulum. If the disc to be turned in the horizontal plane to twist the wire and then released, it executes torstional vibrations of a definite period about the wire of the axis. Let θ be the angle of any instant through which the body be twisted. Then the restoring couple set up in the wire is given by, Cθ =

4. Determination of coefficient of Rigidity (η) for a Wire by Horizontal torsion apparatus:
Figure 4.1: Horizontal tortional apparatus 4.1 Construction: The apparatus consist of the specimen rod about 50 cm. long and 0.25 cm. in radius. One end of the rod is fixed at point A and other end is attached to the steal axle which is fixed to the pulley B. A cord is wounded round the pulley and by the free end a load is suspended. This produces a couple, which tends to twist the rod about its own axis. To measure the twist produced at two points separated by a fixed distance it apart, pointers P1 and P2 are provided which move over the scale in the form of graduated circular areas S1 and S2 respectively. 4.2 Theory and Methods:

Let R be the radius of the pulley and M is mass suspended to the free end of the cord. The moment of the couple acting on the rod due to load of the mass i.e. mg × R . If l is the length between two pointers P1 & P2 and θ1 & θ2 be the corresponding twist produced respectively, then,
ηπ r 4 ( θ 2 − θ1 ) where, r is the radius of the rod. mgR = 2l In practice we measure θ1 & θ2 in degrees, converting these into radians, we have, mgR =

Hence with the help of the formula, the value of modulus of rigidity () for the material can be determined. 5. Bending of Beams:
Figure 5.1 A rod of rectangular, whose length is very large in compression to its thickness is called as beam. A beam may be considered of number of thin plane layers, collected parallel to each other. Also each layer is regarded as to consist of number of parallel longitudinal fibers, which are called the longitudinal filaments i.e. Neutral surface.

When a beam is fixed horizontal at one end and loaded at the other, it undergoes bending. The filament of outward side are length-ended and subjected to tension, while those of the inner side shortened and compressed. In between these portions, there is a layer of surface in which the filaments are neither lengthened nor shortened. Such surface is called neutral surface i.e. EFGH as shown in Figure 5.1. the line of intersection of the plane of bending with the neutral surface is called the neutral surface is called the neutral axis i.e. NN′ as shown in Figure 5.1. Plane of bending as shown in Figure 5.1, the beam has a plane of symmetry ABCD parallel to its length. If the bending is uniform, all longitudinal filaments are bend into circular arcs in planes parallel to the plane of symmetry ABCD. Then plane ABCD may be called the plane of the plane of bending. 6. Bending Moment:
Figure: 6.1 When a horizontal beam is fixed at one end and loaded at the other, a bending is produced due to moment of the load. Let ABCD represents as the section of the beam fixed rigidly in the wall at AD with the other end BC, loaded with a weight W, as shown in Figure 6.1, such beam is called cantilever. Let us consider the equilibrium of a portion BCEF of the beam cut by the transverse plane EF across it. A force W acts downwards at the end BC, hence an equal and opposite reaction force equal to its acting vertically upward along EF i.e. W′ . these two equal and opposite forces constitute a couple. These clockwise

couple which bends the beam is called as bending couple and the moment of these couple is called as the bending moment. 6.1 Expression for Bending Beam: Let the small portion under consideration bend in the form of circular arc, subtending an angle θ at the center of curvature O. let R be the radius of curvature of the neutral surface EF′ . Consider a filament GH distant Z form EF in the unbounded or unbent position of the beam. Let us consider a small portion of the beam bounded by two transverse sections AB and CD close to each other as shown in Figure: 6.2. After bending as shown in Figure: 6.3 AC elongated to A′ C′ and BD to B′ D′ . Line EF represent the neutral surface, which is neither stretched nor shortened.

Figure: 6.3
Consider a filament GH distant Z from EF in the unbend position of the beam. After bending its position as shown by G′ H′ in Figure: 6.3. Now, G′ H′ = (R+Z)θ Before bending GH = EF = E′ F′ But E′ F′ = Rθ ∴ GH = Rθ Change in the length of the filament = G′ H′ - GH = (R+Z)θ - Rθ 10

7. Cantilever: The horizontal beam fixed at the one end and other is loaded is called cantilever.
Figure: 7.1 A cantilever is a beam fixed horizontally at one end and loaded at the other end. There are two cases arises: a) When the weight of beam is itself produces no bending. b) When it does so i) When the weight of beam is ineffective. ii) When the weight of beam is effective. 7.1 When the weight of beam is ineffective:
