Question

For the three parts of this Quick Quiz, choose from the following choices the correct answer for the elastic modulus that describes the relationship between stress and strain for the system of interest, which is in italics:
(a) Young’s modulus (b) shear modulus (c) bulk modulus (d) none of those
choices (i) A block of iron is sliding across a horizontal floor. The friction force between the sliding block and the floor causes the block to deform. (ii) A trapeze artist swings through a circular arc. At the bottom of the swing, the wires supporting the trapeze are longer than when the trapeze artist simply hangs from the trapeze due to the increased tension in them. (iii) A spacecraft carries a steel sphere to a planet on which atmospheric pressure is much higher than on the Earth. The higher pressure causes the radius of the sphere to decrease.
