The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for Young's modulus, which relates stress and strain in a material. The formula is given by: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} \] Where: - Young's modulus \( Y \) is given as \( 1.1 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Stress \( \sigma \) is defined as the force \( F \) applied per unit area \( A \) - Strain \( \epsilon \) is defined as the change in length \( \Delta L \) per original length \( L_0 \) ### Step 1: Calculate the force applied on the wire The force \( F \) due to the weight of the load can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot g \] Where: - \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) Calculating the force: \[ F = 1 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 10 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 2: Convert the area of cross-section from mm² to m² The area \( A \) is given as \( 1 \, \text{mm}^2 \). We need to convert this to square meters: \[ A = 1 \, \text{mm}^2 = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the stress on the wire Stress \( \sigma \) is calculated using the formula: \[ \sigma = \frac{F}{A} \] Substituting the values: \[ \sigma = \frac{10 \, \text{N}}{1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2} = 10^{7} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Relate stress to strain using Young's modulus Using the formula for Young's modulus: \[ Y = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon} \] We can rearrange this to find strain \( \epsilon \): \[ \epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{Y} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \epsilon = \frac{10^{7} \, \text{N/m}^2}{1.1 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2} \] Calculating \( \epsilon \): \[ \epsilon = \frac{10^{7}}{1.1 \times 10^{11}} = \frac{10^{7}}{1.1} \times 10^{-11} = 9.09 \times 10^{-5} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the increase in length \( \Delta L \) The increase in length \( \Delta L \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta L = \epsilon \cdot L_0 \] Where \( L_0 = 1.1 \, \text{m} \): \[ \Delta L = 9.09 \times 10^{-5} \times 1.1 \] Calculating \( \Delta L \): \[ \Delta L = 1.000 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} = 0.0001 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 6: Convert \( \Delta L \) from meters to millimeters To convert meters to millimeters: \[ \Delta L = 0.0001 \, \text{m} \times 1000 \, \text{mm/m} = 0.1 \, \text{mm} \] ### Final Answer The increase in length of the wire is \( 0.1 \, \text{mm} \). ---
