The value of Youngs Modulus is very far from the true value and causes a big percentage error.
%error = |
| = 81.5%
The error is very big and one factor that may have caused this is wrong reading of measurement of the dial gauge.

This data was gathered by performing the experiment. The torque was computed using the Length of the lever arm
multiplied by force. There is a big difference when the torque and force are graph because the factors are the angled
formed and the applied force.
Finding the Shears Modulus:
S =
= 7.34
The percentage error for the Shear is small. (See attached cross section)
Conclusion
The Youngs and Shear Modulus are ways of finding an objects elasticity and breaking point. n this experiment, we
were to determine its strain and stress. From the data gathered and computed, we are able to determine a
