The ultimate tensile strength of monocrystalline silicon is , while its Young's modulus of . What is the maximum extension that 1.35 cm silicon piece can withstand without breaking?
A) 0.503 cm
B) 0.363 cm
C) 0.0503 cm
D) 0.0503 m
E) 0.394 cm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum extension is calculated using the formula for strain, which is the ultimate tensile strength divided by Young's modulus. The strain is then multiplied by the original length (1.35 cm) to find the extension.
