10. Plenary
a) Closure:
Students summarize the topics learnt in the lesson.
Students understand stress strain and different types

b) Lesson Assessment:
1.A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20N.Find the
stress
1. A steel scale of length 1 m is stretched to 2.1 m by applying a tensile force. Calculate the
strain
3.Give an example for pure shear
4.Why strain has no units
11. Reinforcement / Homework / Project / Assignment:

1. Two metal rods area of cross section 20m2 one made of Aluminum and other made up of
steel acted upon by a tensile force of 40N.In which rod stress is higher?
2. Which of these factors doesn't affect the stress of a wire?
a)diameter
b)Original length
c)Load
d)Cross sectional area

3. Define i) stress ii) strain

4.What is poisons ratio

5.What is the rough order of strain within elastic limit of normal solids

6. A wire is suspended from the roof but no weight is attached to the wire. Is the wire under
stress?
