The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the stress generated in a steel wire when a force is applied, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Data - Diameter of the wire, \( d = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Length of the wire, \( L = 2 \, \text{m} \) - Force applied, \( F = 2.2 \, \text{kg} \, \text{wt} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - Young's modulus, \( Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Force in Newtons The force in Newtons can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot g \] where \( m \) is the mass in kg and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the values: \[ F = 2.2 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 22 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Radius of the Wire The radius \( r \) is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}}{2} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Cross-Sectional Area of the Wire The area \( A \) of the wire can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ A = \pi (5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m})^2 = \pi (25 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}^2) = 25\pi \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Stress Stress \( \sigma \) is defined as the force per unit area: \[ \sigma = \frac{F}{A} \] Substituting the values of \( F \) and \( A \): \[ \sigma = \frac{22 \, \text{N}}{25\pi \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}^2} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression Calculating the numerical value: \[ \sigma = \frac{22}{25\pi} \times 10^{8} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ \sigma \approx \frac{22}{25 \times 3.14} \times 10^{8} \approx \frac{22}{78.5} \times 10^{8} \approx 0.28 \times 10^{8} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] \[ \sigma \approx 28 \times 10^{6} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The stress generated in the steel wire is approximately: \[ \sigma \approx 28 \times 10^{6} \, \text{N/m}^2 \]
