The correct Answer is:
To find the Young's modulus of the material of the wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the given data - Mass of the load, \( m = 4 \, \text{kg} \) - Length of the wire, \( L = 20 \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the wire, \( r = 2 \, \text{mm} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Increase in length (elongation), \( \Delta L = 0.031 \, \text{mm} = 0.031 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 3.1 \times \pi \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the force \( F \) The force \( F \) applied on the wire due to the suspended load can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = mg \] Substituting the values: \[ F = 4 \, \text{kg} \times (3.1 \times \pi \, \text{m/s}^2) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the cross-sectional area \( A \) The cross-sectional area \( A \) of the wire can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Substituting the radius: \[ A = \pi (2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m})^2 = \pi (4 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2) = 4\pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Substitute values into the Young's modulus formula The formula for Young's modulus \( Y \) is given by: \[ Y = \frac{F L}{A \Delta L} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ Y = \frac{(4 \times 3.1 \times \pi) \times 20}{(4\pi \times 10^{-6}) \times (0.031 \times 10^{-3})} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression First, calculate the numerator: \[ F L = (4 \times 3.1 \times \pi) \times 20 = 248 \pi \, \text{N m} \] Now calculate the denominator: \[ A \Delta L = (4\pi \times 10^{-6}) \times (0.031 \times 10^{-3}) = 1.244 \times 10^{-7} \pi \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Young's modulus Now substitute back into the Young's modulus formula: \[ Y = \frac{248 \pi}{1.244 \times 10^{-7} \pi} \] The \( \pi \) cancels out: \[ Y = \frac{248}{1.244 \times 10^{-7}} = 1.99 \times 10^{9} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The value of Young's modulus of the material of the wire is approximately: \[ Y \approx 2 \times 10^{12} \, \text{N/m}^2 \]

To find the Young's modulus of the material of the wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the given data - Mass of the load, \( m = 4 \, \text{kg} \) - Length of the wire, \( L = 20 \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the wire, \( r = 2 \, \text{mm} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Increase in length (elongation), \( \Delta L = 0.031 \, \text{mm} = 0.031 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 3.1 \times \pi \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ...
