After a fall, a 95kgrock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been15m long and9.6mm in diameter but has stretched by2.8cm .For the rope, calculate (a) the strain, (b) the stress, and(c) the Young’s modulus.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Strain, ϵ=1.9×10−3

b) Stress,σ=1.29×107 N/m2

c) Young’s modulus, E=6.84×109 N/m2

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

L=15 m

l=2.8cm(1 m100 cm)=0.028 m

Diameter of the roped=9.6 mm(1 m100 cm)=9.6×10−3 m

Acceleration due to gravityg=9.8 m/s2

02

Understanding the concept of stress and strain

σ=FAWe have been given all the required values to calculate the stress, strain, and Young’s Modulus. We convert them into equivalent units. By plugging these values into the formula:

Strain localid="1661252112148" ϵ=lL

Stress

Young’s Modulus E=σϵ.

03

(a) Calculation ofthe strain

By usingthe formula for strain,

ϵ=lL=0.028 m15 m=1.9×10−3

Strain,ϵ=1.9×10−3

04

(b) Calculation ofthe stress

We have the formula for stress,

σ=FA

We calculate the area of rope,

A=π4×d2=π4×(9.6×10−3)2=7.2×10−5m2

The force will be the weight of the rock climber,

F=mg=95 kg×9.8 m/s2=931 N

Using the above-mentioned stress formula, we get

σ=931 N7.2×10−5 m2=1.29×107 N/m2

Stress σ=1.29×107 N/m2,

05

(c) Calculation of Young’s Modulus

We have the formula for E,

E=σϵ

 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰=1.3×107 N/m21.9×10−3=6.84×109 N/m2

Question: In Fig.12-34, a uniform beam of weight 500 Nand length 3.00 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is supported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance Dabove the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1200 N. (a) What value of D corresponds to that tension? (b) To prevent the cable from snapping, should Dbe increased or decreased from that value?
