    The document describes a procedure for investigating stress-strain relationships in metals by measuring the extension of a wire under increasing masses. Key steps include securing a wire and adding masses to measure the extension. The data is used to calculate stress and strain and determine Young's Modulus, though the results are inaccurate. Sources of error in measurement are discussed.

    Investigating Stress-Strain relationships for metals

    1. Fix the bench pulley at the end of the bench. 1.1 30.7 3.81E+06 1.30E-01
    Trap one end of the wire between the two wood
    blocks and secure these to the bench approximately The radius is 0.095 cm, calculated from half the

    wire.

    2. Lay the metre ruler under the wire near the


    pulley and attach the sticky label to act as a length
    marker. You judge the length by looking vertically
    down over the edge of the paper onto the scale of
    the metre ruler.

    3. Measure the length of wire L from the wood


    blocks to the edge of the paper.

    4. Add masses to the hanger and record the


    position of the marker against the metre ruler. First six data show a proportionality in stress
