@Callisto @mathslover

i guess its the area under the upper curve since E=F*x..because when the force is release the displacement goes on decreasing but it does not become zero at force zero..that means there is permanent extension..but i'm not sure about it

mathslover (mathslover):

I agree with @abhi7 the area under the F-X curve will give you the energy required for permanent deformation.

sorry fr the delay

mathslover (mathslover):

No problem but I don't think that there is need for that now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u explain me by drawing a diagram

mathslover (mathslover):

Here it is. Area under F-x curve

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the work done is equal to \(\int F\cdot\mathrm dx\), which is the area under the curve work is done stretching the wire until \(x=0.9 [\text{mm}]\) then the force is relaxed and the wire returns to \(x=0.1 [\text{mm}]\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The work done is the area between the two curves. The upper curve is the work done stretching the wire elastically and beyond and the lower curve is the energy given back or the work the wire does in going to the final length.

thanks alot. i have another question. will u be able to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question?
