Supply and Demand Factors Understanding supply and demand is the underlying foundation of all economics. The term demand is used to indicate consumers’ willingness to buy while supply indicates willingness to sell. The relationship between demand and price is reflected by quantity demanded‚ meaning that at a certain price with everything else held constant‚ this is the amount people are willing to buy. The same applies for supply for quantity supplied‚ at a given price with all else constant this

1. ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ we will measure the stress and the strain in an elastic body‚ observe Hooke’s law and determine the modulus of elasticity of the material. Furthermore‚ the stiffness k of the rigid body is determined as well. 2. OBJECTIVE To measure the deformation (strain) in a truss member‚ determine the modulus of elasticity of the material involved and the stiffness of the rigid body. 3. THEORY As shown in figure one‚ the system consists of a truss member BG and a rigid
