PSP 02 Mechanical Properties; Normal Strain; Hooke's Law for Uniaxial Stress (not graded; infinite attempts allowed)

PSP stands for Problem-Solving Practice.

PSP 02 includes hints and answers for Problems 1(a-e), 2, 3, 4, 5, 12(a-c, f), 16, and 25 from Chapter 3 of the Vable textbook.

You may solve these problems and check your answers in Appendix F. Alternatively, you may use this ungraded learning activity for hints and to check your work at checkpoints throughout your solution process. You may leave and return to this learning activity as many times as you wish.

You may complete this assignment any time prior to the first exam, but I recommend completing these problems by Monday, January 30 to stay on pace with the course. The recommended problems are not collected or graded. If you have questions about the problem statement or the solution process, just take a photo of your work and email it to me or bring it to class. I'm happy to look through your solutions and provide feedback! :)
