Two wires are made of the same kind of metal. Wire A has a diameter of 2.4 mm and is initially 2.8m long. You have a 8kg mass from wire A, measure the amount of stretch, and determine Young’s modulus to be Wire B, which is made of the same kind of metal as wire A, has the same length as wire A but twice the diameter. You hang the same 8kg mass from wire B, measure the amount of stretch, and determine Young’s modulus YB,

Which one of the following is true?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1..YB=YA

The amount of stretch isrole="math" localid="1653995796689" 8.85×10-6m and the Young’s modulus is 1.37×1012N/m2.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as-

  • Length of wire AlA=2.8m
  • Diameter of wire dA=2.4m
  • Mass hanged with wire A mA=8kg
  • Young’s modulus of wire A Y2 =1.37
  • Length of wire BlB=2.8m l
  • Diameter of wire B
  • dB=2×2.4mm=4.8mm
  • Mass hanged with wire B m=8kg
02

Significance of the Young’s modulus of a wire

Young’s modulus describes the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation in an object). It does not depends on size or shape of an object.

03

Determination of Young’s Modulus of wire B

As we know that young’s modulus is independent of size or shape. If the material is same then young’s modulus will be same. In question it give that material A and material B made of same material, so both will have same young’s modulus

YB=YA

04

Determination of amount of stretch of wire B

Formula of young’s modulus is given as-

Y=FA∆ll=F.la∆l=4mglÏ€»å2∆l

the amount of stretch in the wire B can be expressed as-

Y=4mBglBÏ€»åB2∆lB∆lB=4mBglBÏ€»åB2YB

Substituting the values in the above equation,

∆lB=4×8kg×9.8m/s2×2.8π4.8×10-3m2×1.37×1012N/m2=878.08kgm2/s299.163×106N=8.85×10-6kgm2/s×1m1kgm/s2=8.85×10-6m

Thus, the amount of stretch is 8.85×10-6m and the Young’s modulus is 1.37×1012N/m2.

Steel is very stiff, and Young’s modulus for steel is unusually large, 2×1011N/m. A cube of steel 28 cm on a side supports a load of 85 kg that has the same horizontal cross section as the steel cube. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force that the steel cube exerts on the load? (b) What is the compression of the steel cube? That is, what is the small change in height of the steel cube due to the load it supports? Give your answer as a positive number. The compression of a wide, stiff support can be extremely small.

A mass of 2.2kgis connected to a horizontal spring whose stiffness is role="math" localid="1657769591862" 8N/m. When the spring is relaxed,x=0. The spring is stretched so that the initial value of x=+0.18m. The mass is released from rest at time role="math" localid="1657769734196" t=0. Remember that when the argument of a trigonometric function is in radians, on a calculator you have to switch the calculator to radians or convert the radians to degrees. Predict the position x whent=1.15s.

certain coiled wire with uneven windings has the property that to stretch it an amount s from its relaxed length requires a force that is given by, F=bs3so its behaviour is different from a normal spring. You suspend this device vertically, and its unstretched length is 25 cm. (a) You hang a mass of 18 g from the device, and you observe that the length is now 29 cm. What is b, including units? (b) Which of the following were needed in your analysis in part (a)? (1) The Momentum Principle, (2) The fact that the gravitational force acting on an object near the Earth’s surface is approximately mg, (3) The force law for an ordinary spring (F=kss), (4) The rate of change of momentum being zero (c) Next you take hold of the hanging 18 g mass and throw it straight downward, releasing it when the length of the device is 33 cm and the speed of the mass is 5 m/s. After a very short time, 0.0001 s later, what is the stretch of the device, and what was the change in the speed of the mass (including the correct sign of the change) during this short time interval? It helps enormously to draw a diagram showing the forces that act on the mass after it leaves your hand.

A 5kgbox with initial speed 4m/sslides across the floor and comes to a stop after 0.7s(a) what is the coefficient of kinetic friction? (b) How far does the box move? (c) You put a 3kgblock in the box, so the total mass is now 8kg, and you launch this heavier box with an initial speed of 4m/s. How long does it take to stop?

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 14 kg from a gold wire 2.5 m long that is 2 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of the wire, and find that the wire stretched 0.00139 m. (a) Calculate Young’s modulus for the wire. (b) The atomic mass of gold is 197 g/mole, and the density of gold is. Calculate the interatomic spring stiffness for gold.
