A 4.0-m-long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.050 cm2. Its proportional limit has a value of 0.0016 times its Young鈥檚 Modulus. Its breaking stress has a value of 0.0065 times its Young鈥檚 modulus. The wire is fastened at its upper end and hangs vertically. (a) How great a weight can be hung from the wire without exceeding the proportional limit? (b) How much will the wire stretch under this load? (c) What is the maximum weight that the wire can support?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The weight that can be hung without exceeding the proportional limit is 1.6010-3N
  2. The wire stretches by 6.4 mm
  3. The maximum weight wire can support is 6.5103N

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Length of wire L0=4m

Cross-sectional Area A=0.05cm210-4m21cm2=510-6m2

For steel, Young鈥檚 Modulus is Y=201010Pa

Proportional stress P=1.610-3Y

Breaking stressB=6.510-3Y

02

Formula used

Stress on wire =FA

WhereFis the tensile force applied to an object, and A is the area over which force is exerted.

Y=LoFAL

Where Y is young鈥檚 modulus, L0 the length of wire, andLthe change in length.

03

Find the weight that can be hung within the proportional limit(a)

Here, weightw=F

So w=ProportionalStressonwireArea

w=1.610-3Y510-6m2=1.610-3201010Pa510-6m2=1.60103N

Hence, the weight that can be hung without exceeding the proportional limit is 1.6010-3N.

04

Calculate how much the wire will stretch(b)

L=FAL0Y=PL0Y=1.610-3YL0Y=1.610-3L0

So

L=1.610-34m=6.410-3m

Hence, the wire stretches by 6.4 mm.

05

Find the maximum weight that can be hanged(c)

Here, weightw=F

So w=ProportionalStressonwireArea

w=6.510-3Y510-6m2=6.510-3201010Pa510-6m2=6.5103N

Hence, the maximum weight that can be hung is6.5103N
