Stress

How do I stop stress from making me physically ill?
Q. I have found that when I get stressed, nervous, worried, tense, etc I start to get physically sick. Usually my stomach is what gets upset the most. This happens for all kinds of stress including: tests, relationship fights, big vacations, moving away from home, anything. I need to get over this, sometimes I even stress about getting sick from becoming stressed about becoming sick. Anyone have any ideas? This has been going on for years and I can't stand it anymore. yes anxiety is definitly apart of it.

A. Well you're saying it's stress, but is any of it anxiety? I know that alot of my "stress" is anxiety about things like you mentioned, tests, etc. and there are now alot of anti-anxiety medications you can get so that it won't cause the physical symptoms to exist or exist as badly as they are now. There are also many other things you can do to help you learn to deal with stress/anxiety so that it won't effect you as badly such as yoga, deep breathing, and anti-anxiety exercises. If you don't take care of this problem you will likely end up with stomach ulcers from the stress so please talk to your doctor.

How to calculate stress in a material, and also calculate how much it stretches?
Q. I've come acorss a problem, this is what i'm faced with. A hollow steel tube has an external diamater of 100mm and a 80mm internal diamater, it is 3m long, and is subjected to a tensile load of 400kN. The stress of the tube needs to be calculated, and also, how much would the tube stretch if Youngs Modulus is 200 000 N/mm . Thanks very much! Any help will be extremely appreciated. Sam Lilley

A. = stress = force/area force = 400kN area = [(100mm)^2 - (80mm)^2] /4 = (400kN) / (900 mm^2) = 444 N/mm^2 = strain = stress/youngs = /E = (444 N/mm^2) / (200,000 N/mm ) = 0.00222 m/m stretch = length stretch = 3m 0.00222 stretch = 0.0067m = 6.7mm
