Question:

The “lead” in pencils is a graphite composition with Young's modulus of approximately 1.0x10⁹ N/m². Calculate the change in length of the lead in an automatic pencil if you tap it straight into the pencil with a force of 5.6 N. The lead is 0.51 mm in

Calculate the change in length of the lead in an automatic pencil if you tap it straight into the pencil with a force of 5.6 N. The lead is 0.51 mm in diameter and 53 mm long. Round your answer to 5 decimal places.
