Answer:
Specific stiffness=37.95 GPa
Explanation:
Given that
Volume fraction of tungsten Vā = 0.9
Volume fraction of copper Ā Vā = 0.1
Specific gravity for tungsten Sā = 19.3
Specific gravity for copper Sā= 8.9
Modulus of Elasticity for Ā tungsten Eā= 407 GPa
Ā Modulus of Elasticity for Ā copper Eā = 110 GPa
Ā Modulus of Elasticity for mixture
E= EāVā+EāVā
E = 110 x 0.1 + 407 x 0.9 GPa
E=377.3 GPa
Specific gravity for mixture
S= SāVā+SāVā
S = 19.3 x 0.1 + 8.9 x 0.9
S=9.94
Specific stiffness K
[tex]K=\dfrac{E}{S}[/tex]
[tex]K=\dfrac{377.3}{9.94}[/tex]
K=37.95 GPa
Specific stiffness=37.95 GPa
