Answer to Question #266582 in General Chemistry for A10

Question

A compressive force of 15-N is applied to a flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (CAS# 9002-86-2) wire that is 5-m long and has a diameter of 3.6-mm. If the wire contracts by 0.5-mm, calculate the compressive modulus (K). 

Answer 1

V of wirie = $\frac{22}{7}×0.0018^2×5=0.00005m^3$
