A 3.5-kg object is supported by an aluminum wire of length 1.8 m and diameter 2.0 mm . How much will the wire stretch?
he weight of the object is W = mg
oungs modulus of aluminum wire is Y = 6.9x1010 N/m2
Youngs modulus of aluminum wire is Y = (F / A) / (ΔL / L)
= FL / AΔL
= mgL / AΔL
A= pi*r^2 = pi*( 2/2 *10^-3)^2 = 3.14159265e-6 m2
ΔL = mgL / AY
= 3.5*9.8*1.8 / ( 3.14159265e-6 * 6.9x10^10)
= 0.0002848181506 m
=0.28481*10-3 m
= 0.28481 mm answer
Goodluck for exam Comment in case any doubt, will reply for
sure..
