[SOLVED] Hookes law equation for all gauges of copper wire
For my coursework I'm trying to find an equation using hookes law that works with all gauges of copper wire, i know that this means i will have to change the hookes law equation from F=ke to F=ake (a is not the area it's just a letter for the constant that i need to find)
F=ke
F=ake
Youngs modulus
i've tried working out the stiffness for several wire gauges and seeing if there was a pattern to them but my teacher said i should involve the youngs modulus equation.
Any help really appreciated
