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,

(c) Calculation of Young’s Modulus

We have the formula for E,

E=σϵ

Question: Figure 12-29 shows a diver of weight 580 N standing at the end of a diving board with a length of L =4.5 mand negligible v mass. The board is fixed to two pedestals (supports) that are separated by distance d = 1 .5 m. Of the forces acting on the board, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (up or down) of the force from the left pedestal and the (c) magnitude and (d) direction (up or down) of the force from the right pedestal? (e) Which pedestal (left or right) is being stretched, and (f) which pedestal is being compressed?

Question: A uniform cubical crate is 0.750 m on each side and weighs 500 N . It rests on a floor with one edge against a very small, fixed obstruction. At what least height above the floor must a horizontal force of magnitude 350 N be applied to the crate to tip it?

In Figure 12-43, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance ais 0.914″¾ and distance Lis2.10″¾. His center of mass is distance d=0.940″¾from the feet–ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground?

Figure (a) shows a horizontal uniform beam of massmband lengthLthat is supported on the left by a hinge attached to a wall and on theright by a cable at angle θ with the horizontal. A package of mass mp is positioned on the beam at a distance x from the left end. The total mass ismb+mp=61.22kg. Figure (b) gives the tension T in the cable as a function of the package’s position given as a fraction x/L of the beam length. The scale of the T axis is set by Ta=500N and Tb=700N.

(a) Evaluate angleθ ,

(b) Evaluate massmb , and

(c) Evaluate mass mp.

In Fig. 12-41, a climber with a weight of 533.8 N is held by a belay rope connected to her climbing harness and belay device; the force of the rope on her has a line of action through her center of mass. The indicated angles are θ=40.0°andϕ=30.0°. If her feet are on the verge of sliding on the vertical wall, what is the coefficient of static friction between her climbing shoes and the wall?
