The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the energy stored per unit volume in a copper wire producing a longitudinal strain of 0.1%, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Formula The energy stored per unit volume (u) in a material under stress is given by the formula: \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{stress} \times \text{strain} \] ### Step 2: Relating Stress to Young's Modulus Stress (σ) can be related to Young's Modulus (Y) and strain (ε) by the formula: \[ \text{stress} = Y \times \text{strain} \] Thus, we can rewrite the energy stored per unit volume as: \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times Y \times \epsilon^2 \] ### Step 3: Converting Strain to Decimal The given longitudinal strain is 0.1%. To use it in calculations, we convert this percentage to a decimal: \[ \epsilon = \frac{0.1}{100} = 0.001 \] ### Step 4: Substituting Values Now we can substitute the values into the formula. We know: - Young's Modulus (Y) for copper = \( 1.1 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Strain (ε) = 0.001 Substituting these values into the energy formula: \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.1 \times 10^{11}) \times (0.001)^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculating the Energy Stored Calculating \( (0.001)^2 \): \[ (0.001)^2 = 0.000001 = 10^{-6} \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.1 \times 10^{11}) \times (10^{-6}) \] \[ u = \frac{1.1 \times 10^{11}}{2} \times 10^{-6} \] \[ u = 0.55 \times 10^{5} \] ### Step 6: Final Result Converting \( 0.55 \times 10^{5} \) to standard form gives: \[ u = 5.5 \times 10^{4} \, \text{J/m}^3 \] ### Conclusion The energy stored per unit volume in the copper wire is: \[ \boxed{5.5 \times 10^{4} \, \text{J/m}^3} \] ---
