Question

is 2mm square equal to 2mm^2?

Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

@Algebraic!

Answer 3

not sure what you mean

Answer 4

(2mm)^2 is not 2 mm^2
a square with sides 2mm long is not 2 mm^2
if you're just writing " 2 mm^2" a different way, then sure.. they're the same...

Answer 5

the problem is:
a steel bar 2 mm square and 5 m long is stretched with a force of 499 N at each end. Find the stress, strain, total elongation, and fractional thickness of the bar...
(physics problem)

Answer 6

I think they must means CSA is 2 mm^2

Answer 7

CSA?

Answer 8

cross sectional area

Answer 9

what's the CSA of the given?

Answer 10

2 mm^2

Answer 11

how to find its area?

Answer 12

convert to square meters probably

Answer 13

2 mm^2 * (1m/1000mm)^2

Answer 14

and then multiply to 5m?

Answer 15

that would be volume... don't you need CSA for this problem?

Answer 16

stress is F/CSA

Answer 17

ohh..

Answer 18

do we have to convert it to meters too?

Answer 19

square meters. yes.

Answer 20

square meters to meters?
