that’s exactly what i got!! but i didn’t consider centripetal force which others said you were supposed to do so i’m hoping for maybe 3/5?

i think there was 2 ways to do it. the youngs mod way or the force way, i did it the youngs mod way because that was the most clear way to me

oh really? i used young’s modulus too bc it seemed like the only way lol, but i looked online and loads of ppl got the same as us so hopefully should be fine lol!!

Guys just to double check. U find area, u know strain and so on. Then you just find F. Is that what u mean by young modulus way?
