Energy stored in stretched string

During my course of teaching of elasticity ,i teach about the energy stored in the stretch string.One of the example is a sling in which when rubber string is stretched elastic
potential energy get stored and when it is released it converts into kinetic energy.
WORK DONE AND ELASTIC ENERGY


Let us take the example of a wire. Suppose the original length of the wire is L, When not deformed, there are no internal forces. As the length of the wire increase from L to L + DL, internal forces increase from 0 to F. Suppose at any instant when the length is (L +x), the internal force is Fx. The work done to further increase the length through dx is Fxdx, hence total work done



W = Fx dx = EA/L x dx

So the total work done is

W = ½ EA/L (DL)2

W = ½ F (DL)

Thus, the elastic energy per unit volume is given by-

U = W/AL = ½ stress ´ strain

(1) The above results is true for all types of stress and strain.

(2) The work done per unit volume or the elastic energy per unit volume is given by half the product of stress and strain.

(3) If we draw a graph between stress and strain then as the area between the graph and strain axis is ½ stress ´ strain, it gives the work done per unit volume.

There is a beautiful video which the maximum energy which can be given particle which is being thrown with the help of sling

This is the song which my son has to sung in school.It is very interesting

ये वक़्त ना ठहरा है , यह वक़्त ना ठहरेगा यूँ ही गुज़र जायेगा, घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा सुख दुःख तो जीवन में आते और जाते दुःख पहले आ जाये तो , घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा सागर के सीने से लाये है हम मोती लहरें अगर बलखाये तो घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा जो आया दुनिया में उसको जाना ही है अपनी भी चले जाएँ तोह घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा जब कदम बढाया है मंजिल मिल जायेगी है राह ज़रा मुश्किल तो घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा हम युग सेनानी हैं हिम्मत से काम लेंगे मंजिल पे नज़र होगी, गुरुवर का नाम लेंगे विपरीत दिशाओं से फिर घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा ये वक़्त ना ठहरा है , यह वक़्त

A students who is My hero because of his Bravery

Image
 Tarun Nayyar  was a boy with  twinkling eyes,innovative  brain and having  exceptional  mathematical skills.He was like younger brother for me .A boy who was role model for all others because  he himself  was a student and was teaching others for supporting  his family.A wonderful teacher who was so popular among his students. A boy who in my wedding  was first to start dancing and was last to stop.I am attaching a short  write up . In future i will be dedicating a  blog based on his life. So if you were  in touch  with him please comment so that  we can work to put this forgotten hero of Meerut  to the place he deserved LT TARUN NAYYAR, SM Based on specific information from Kupwara regarding presence of two terrorists in a group of houses in village Dardsun, two columns of 8 JAT under Maj Bhupender Singh Mankotia and Lt Tarun Nayyar were launched. While establishing cordon, Lt Nayyar observed two terrorists escaping northwards towards v

Do you think person sitting in public places like bank should behave according to their false ego - part 1

For few days I have been experiencing some new and interesting aspects of human behavior in UBI bank. From the last so many years I have been operating my account in UBI bank. Few days back, I had to send some money electronically to ICICI PUNE. It was very important because it was Anti Virus Renewal fees. Since, I was doing it for the first time I decided to goto ICICI bank with my friend ,Ajay Verma . There we learned that it could also be sent by my own account from my bank(UBI). So ,I went to so called my bank Union Bank of India. There started a sequence of interesting events. I first went to Mr Rohit who was very busy .He requested me to go to the person in charge. So ,I went to Mr Shriwastava to whom I was reluctant to go .Before going to Mr Shriwastawa I had already told Rohit that there was some attitude problem with Mr. Shriwastava .The first question he asked me was why I came to UBI bank & why I didn't go to ICICI bank . Then I said to him ," c
