CP A 12.0kgmass, fastened to the end of an aluminium wire with an unstretched length of, is whirled in a vertical circle with a constant angular speed of. The cross-sectional area of the wire is 120rev/min. Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is

  1. at the lowest point of the path and
  2. at the highest point of its path.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of the path is 0.86 cm.
  2. The elongation of the wire when the mass is at the highest point of the path is 1 cm

Step by step solution

01

Define Stress

Stress, which quantifies the force per unit area applied to a material, is a physical quantity. Which is given by,

σ=FA(1) (1)

Whereσ is stress, is force and is area.

02

Identification of given data

Mass is given by m = 12.0 kg

Length of aluminum wire is r = 0.7 m
Now, angular speed is r = 120revmin

role="math" localid="1668141796113" Ӭ=120×2π60radsec=4πradsec

Area of wire is A = 0.014cm2

03

Find the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of the path

(a)

The force working on aluminium rod will be due to gravity and angular acceleration will be

F=mg±mӬ2r (2)

Now, we have for lowest point. So, consider,

F=mg−mӬ2r=(12kg)9.8m/s2−(12kg)(4πrad/sec)2(0.7m)=1208N

Now, from equation (1),

σ=FA=1208N1.4×10−6m2=862.8MPa≈863MPa

Now, we know that young modulus of aluminium rod is 70000MP a

Now, elongation is given by,

δ=σY×I=863MPa7000MPa×70cm=0.86cm

The elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of the path is 0.86 cm.

04

Find the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the highest point of the path

(b)

From equation (2) we haveF=mg±mӬ2r

Now, we have for lowest point. So, consider,

F=mg+mÓ¬2r=(12kg)9.8m/s2+(12kg)(4Ï€°ù²¹»å/sec)2(0.7m)=1443NNow,fromequation(1),σ=FA=1443N1.4×10−6m2=1030.7MPa≈1031MPa

Now, we know that young modulus of aluminium rod is 70000MP a

Now, elongation is given by,

δ=σY×I=1031MPa7000MPa×70cm=1cm

The elongation of the wire when the mass is at the highest point of the path is 1 cm

You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 cm horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)

Is a pound of butter on the Earth the same amount as a pound of butter on Mars? What about a kilogram of butter? Explain.

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet’s surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, ÒÏ=M/V, and the planet’s diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn’s surface?
