tukeywilliam Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Why does Young's Modulus imply that there are atoms on a wire? In other words, in when stretching the wire, why is it implied that there are atoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meir Achuz Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Why does Young's Modulus imply that there are atoms on a wire? In other words, in when stretching the wire, why is it implied that there are atoms? Y by itself doesn't so imply. It could be that there are molecular calculations that give a reasonable value for Y for a particular material. This would imply that the molecualr hypothesis was correct.
