Question: The Young’s modulus for steel is \(Y = 2 \times 10^{11}N/m^{2}\). If the inter-atomic distance is 3....
The Young’s modulus for steel is Y=2×1011N/m2. If the inter-atomic distance is 3.2Å, the inter atomic force constant in N/ Å will be
A
6.4×109
B
6.4×10−9
C
3.2×109
D
3.2×10−9
Answer
6.4×10−9
Explanation
Solution
k=Y×r0=2×1011×3.2×10−10=6.4×101N/m = 6.4×10−9N/A˚.
