A nylon sample of 0.03 m$^2$ cross-sectional area is subjected to a creep load of 10 kN. The load is removed after a duration of 60 s. Young’s modulus and the viscosity for nylon are 1 GPa and 300 Giga Poise. The compliance of the specimen is ______ $\times 10^{-9}$ m$^2$/N.
PVDF was quenched in one case and slowly cooled at 10$^\circ$C/min in another case. The crystallinity of slowly cooled PVDF = 60%. The heat of fusion of the quenched PVDF = 0.54 $\Delta H_m$ (where $\Delta H_m$ = heat of fusion of slowly cooled PVDF). Heat of fusion of 100% crystalline PVDF = 100 J/g. Find crystallinity of quenched PVDF.
