A nylon thread is to be subjected to a 10-N tension. Knowing that E 5 3.2 GPa, that the maximum allowable normal stress is 40 MPa, and that the length of the thread must not increase by more than 1%, determine the required diameter of the thread.

Answer:

0.631 mm

Explanation:

Strain=[tex]\frac {\triangle L}{L}=1%[/tex] hence 0.01

Stress=strain* Young’s modulus hence  

Stress=[tex]0.01*3.2 Gpa=32 N/mm^{2}[/tex]

But stress, [tex]\sigma=\frac {P}{A}=\frac {P}{0.25\pi d^{2}}[/tex]

Making d the subject then

[tex]d=\sqrt {\frac {P}{0.25\pi \sigma}}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt {\frac {10}{0.25\pi*32}}\approx 0.631 mm[/tex]
