What happens when the elastic limit of bungee cable is exceeded?

If a force is too great, the elastic limit will be exceeded. After the elastic limit is an area called the plastic region. The object may be stretched further in this area, however it will not returned to its original shape and will be permanently distorted. Eventually, the object will reach its breaking point. If the force applied is within the elastic limit, the object will return to its original shape.

What are Robert Hooke's contribution?

Hooked law is: Extension is proportionate to the load provided the elastic limit is not exceeded

Why you need to find stress in steel?

stress on steel need to be calculated because elastic limit is not be exceeded basically we have to work within the elastic region in a stress cycle diagram.


Why do sofa springs need to be stiff?

So that the extension limit of the spring would not be exceeded quickly.


Why do you need new head bolts for 98 Taurus?

Most motors need new head bolts when you do the head gasket. The bolts are stretch bolts - they are stretched just beyond their elastic limit. Imagine a little coil spring - pull it and let go, pull it again and let go. You are within the elastic limit limits of the metal and the spring. Pull it real hard and it stretches and doesn't go back - you have exceeded the elastic limit and gone into the plastic limit. The reason is the bolts can be much thinner and lighter - lighter and thinner means less weight and your motor goes faster. Don't reuse the old ones - it will end in tears!


Is stretching of spring reversible or irreversible change?

If it is within the elastic limit then it becomes possible. If it exceeds that limit then it will be difficult to restore


What is the relation between the limit of proportionality and the shape of a spring?

This relationship is known as Hooke's Law, which states, "The extension of a spring or wire is directly proportional to the force applied provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded."


Why sofa springs need to be stiff?

So that the extension limit of the spring would not be exceeded quickly causing spring to be broken and so the sofa would not be comfortable anymore.
