In constructing a large mobile, an artist hangs an aluminum sphere of mass 6.0 kg from a vertical steel wire 0.50 m long and 2.5×10-3cm2in cross-sectional area. On the bottom of the sphere he attaches a similar steel wire, from which he hangs a brass cube of mass 10.0 kg. For each wire, compute (a) the tensile strain and (b) the elongation.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Upper wire: 3.1×10-3

Lower wire: 2.0×10-3

(b) Upper wire: 1.6 mm

Lower wire: 1.0 mm

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Length: l0=0.50m,

Area: A=2.5×10-3cm2,

Aluminum sphere mass: mA=6kg,

Brass cube mass: mB=10kg.

02

Concept/Formula used

Y=l0F∆l

Where, Y is Young’s modulus, l0 is length of muscle, F is muscle force, A is cross-sectional area and ∆lis elongation.

03

Tension calculation in wires

Tension in the below steel wire

T2=mBg=(10kg)(9.80)=98N

Tension in the above steel wire

T1=mAg+T2=(6kg)(9.80)+98N=157N

04

(a) Calculation for Tensile strain

Strain in upper wire

Y=stressstrainstrain(ευ)=stressY=T1AYευ=157N(2.5×10-7m2)(2×1011Pa)=3.1×10-3

Strain in lower wire

strain(εL)=stressY=T2AYεL=98N(2.5×10-7m2)(2×1011Pa)=2.0×10-3

05

(b) Calculation for elongation in wires

(b) Elongation in upper wire

∆lu=l0×εu=(0.50m)(3.1×10-3)=1.6×10-3m=1.6mm

Elongation in Lower wire

∆lL=l0×εL=(0.50m)(2.0×10-3)=1.0×10-3m=1.0mm

Comparing Example 12.1 (Section 12.1) and Example 12.2 (Section 12.2), it seems that 700 N of air is exerting a downward force of 2.0×106Non the floor. How is this possible?

A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

A cube of oak wood with very smooth faces normally floats in water. Suppose you submerge it completely and press one face flat against the bottom of a tank so that no water is under that face. Will the block float to the surface? Is there a buoyant force on it? Explain.
