MIT Physics Lecture: Classical Mechanics - 26 - Elasticity & Young's Modulus

50:19 - 2 years ago

Lecture 26: Elasticity - Young's Modulus Topics on this video include: Elasticity of Materials, Measuring Stress vs. Strain, Spring Constant of a Wire, Speed of Sound in Materials and Demo with a 2 kg Block and Two Strings. 8.01 is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed a peek into the intriguing Quantum World. MIT OpenCourseWare also presents Professor Lewin's freshman physics course series 8.02 - Electricity and Magnetism - with a complete set of 36 video lectures from the Spring of 2002 and 8.03 - Vibrations and Waves - with a complete set of 23 video lectures from the Fall of 2004.
