Question
An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.5 cmcm and a height of 82 cmcm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down on the cylinder with a force of 3.2×104N3.2×104N. What is the compressive strain of the cylinder? Young’s modulus for aluminum is 7.0×1010Pa7.0×1010Pa. Express your answer using two significant figures.

To solve the problem, it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to Young’s Modulus, which defines the relationship between stress and strain in a body. This mathematical relationship is explained below
But here,
Where,
A = Area
F = Force
r = Radius
In the formula of Young modulus we have then,
Replacing,
Therefore the strain is
