A rubber band is stretched by 1.0 cm when a force of 0.35 N is applied to each end. If instead a force of 0.70 N is applied to each end, estimate how far the rubber band will stretch from its unstretched length: (a) 0.25 cm. (b) 0.5 cm. (c) 1.0 cm. (d) 2.0 cm. (e) 4.0 cm.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d).

Step by step solution

01

Concept

The stress is proportional to the strain on an elastic body.For this problem, stress gets double; then, the strain will double.

02

Explanation

Here, the initial stress on the rubber band is 0.35 N.

The initial strain is 1.0 cm.

The final stress on the rubber band is 0.70 N.

For any elastic body, the stress is proportional to the strain on the body.

Here, the stress on the rubber band is doubled, then the strain will also be doubled. Therefore, the rubber band will stretch by 2.0 cm from the upstretched length.

(III) A scallop force opens its shell with an elastic material called abductin, whose Young’s modulus is about \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.0 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{6}}}\;{\bf{N/}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\). If this piece of abductin is 3.0 mm thick and has a cross-sectional area of \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.50}}\;{\bf{c}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\), how much potential energy does it store when compressed by 1.0 mm?

A heavy ball suspended by a cable is pulled to the side by a horizontal force \(\vec F\), as shown in Fig. 9–43. If angle \(\theta \) is small, the magnitude of the force F can be less than the weight of the ball because

(a) the force holds up only part of the ball’s weight.

(b) even though the ball is stationary, it is not really in equilibrium.

(c) \(\vec F\) is equal to only the x component of the tension in the cable.

(d) the original statement is not true. To move the ball, \(\vec F\) must be at least equal to the ball’s weight.

A traffic light hangs from a pole, as shown in Fig. 9–59. The uniform aluminum pole AB is 7.20 m long and has a mass of 12.0 kg. The mass of the traffic light is 21.5 kg. Determine (a) the tension in the horizontal massless cable CD and (b) the vertical and horizontal components of the force exerted by pivot A on the aluminum pole.

Name the type of equilibrium for each position of the ball in Fig. 9–40.

A parking garage is designed for two levels of cars. To make more money, the owner decides to double the size of the garage in each dimension (length, width, and the number of levels). For the support columns to hold up four floors instead of two, how should he change the columns' diameter?

(a) Double the area of the columns by increasing their diameters by a factor of 2

(b) Double the area of the columns by increasing their diameters by a factor of \(\sqrt 2 \)

(c) Quadruple the area of the columns by increasing their diameters by a factor of 2

(d) Increase the area of the columns by a factor of 8 by increasing their diameters by a factor of \(2\sqrt 2 \)

(e) He doesn't need to increase the diameter of the columns
