Does Young's Modulus Change When Nano-Tubes Are Connected End-to-End?

AI Thread Summary
When multiple nano-tubes are connected end-to-end, the stress experienced by each tube remains constant, as it is determined by the applied force and the cross-sectional area. The total length of the composite structure will extend proportionally to the length of the individual tubes, maintaining a consistent strain. Consequently, the Young's modulus, which is a measure of stiffness, does not change regardless of the number of tubes connected. This analysis confirms that the mechanical properties of the nano-tubes remain stable when arranged in this manner. The conclusion is that Young's modulus remains unaffected by the end-to-end connection of nano-tubes.

Homework Statement


A nano-tube having cross sectional area A and length L extends ΔL when a force F is applied normally to one of the cross-sectional surfaces. Show that if N tubes are connected end-to-end the then Young's modulus of the fibre does not change.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Not sure how to answer this but:

Stress on the nano-tubes regardless of how much there are will not change. So force and cross sectional area would be a constant.

I'm assuming that the total length of let's say a wire, will extend proportional to its length. So the Strain will remain constant.

So the Young's modulus of the nano-tube will not change.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
