13. MAX STRESS (BREAKING STRESS)
• It is the max stress a material can handle before it breaks
14. EXAMPLE 3
• Would the wire breaks or not?
• F/ A = 500 * 9.8 / pi*0.0005^2
• What is the maximum weight this wire could handle
• StressMAX = mmax* g / A
Mmax= 17.6 kg
16. SHEAR STRESS
• It is used in cutting materials
• The area used is the area that is going to be cut
17. EXAMPLE 6
• H = 5 cm
• W= 20 cm
• L= 2cm
• F= 1000N
• Fe shear modulus= 7.7 * 10^10

The diameter of the drilling bit= 4.2 cm
Thickness of the sheet = 5mm
Length of the sheet = 5 m
Width of the sheet = 3 m
Shear stress of steel = 4 x 10^8
Solution
Shear stress= F/A
F= 4 *10^8 * pi * 0.042*0.005 = 263893.8 N

The higher the bulk modulus
the more force you need to
Change the volume of the material
20. EXAMPLE 6
• A Bowling ball made of steel sunk in an ocean, find the change in it’s volume if
you know that the ocean is 10000 m in depth and the original volume of the ball
is 1m^3
