Homework Statement
Consider a metal bar of initial length L and cross-sectional area A. The Young's modulus of the material of the bar is Y. Find the "spring constant" k of such a bar for low values of tensile strain.
Express in terms of Y, L, and A.
Homework Equations
I know the hooks law equation and the modulus but i can't figure out the answer it wants me ot get
Maybe I'm doing it wrong but i am getting Y/(L*A)...
