The correct Answer is:
To determine the elongation of the steel bar, we will use the formula for elongation (ΔL) given by: \[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} \] where: - \( F \) = applied force (in Newtons) - \( L \) = original length of the bar (in meters) - \( A \) = cross-sectional area (in square meters) - \( Y \) = Young's modulus (in Newtons per square meter) ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Length of the steel bar, \( L = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Cross-sectional area, \( A = 1.5 \, \text{cm}^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \) (conversion from cm² to m²) - Applied force, \( F = 1.5 \times 10^4 \, \text{N} \) - Young's modulus, \( Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the elongation formula**: \[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} \] \[ \Delta L = \frac{(1.5 \times 10^4) \cdot (1)}{(1.5 \times 10^{-4}) \cdot (2.0 \times 10^{11})} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator**: \[ A \cdot Y = (1.5 \times 10^{-4}) \cdot (2.0 \times 10^{11}) = 3.0 \times 10^{7} \, \text{N} \] 4. **Calculate the elongation**: \[ \Delta L = \frac{1.5 \times 10^4}{3.0 \times 10^7} \] \[ \Delta L = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \] 5. **Convert the elongation to millimeters**: \[ \Delta L = 0.5 \, \text{mm} \] ### Final Answer: The elongation of the steel bar is \( 0.5 \, \text{mm} \). ---
