The correct Answer is:
To find the Young's modulus of the material of the wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Mass of the weight (m) = 200 kg - Length of the wire (L) = 600.5 cm = 6.005 m (convert cm to m) - Area of cross-section (A) = 1 mm² = 1 x 10⁻⁶ m² (convert mm² to m²) - Change in length (ΔL) = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m (convert cm to m) ### Step 2: Calculate the force (F) applied on the wire The force applied due to the weight is given by: \[ F = m \cdot g \] Where \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity) is approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Calculating the force: \[ F = 200 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 1960 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Use the Young's modulus formula The formula for Young's modulus (Y) is: \[ Y = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot \Delta L} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the Young's modulus formula Now substituting the known values into the formula: - \( F = 1960 \, \text{N} \) - \( L = 6.005 \, \text{m} \) - \( A = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \) - \( \Delta L = 0.005 \, \text{m} \) So, \[ Y = \frac{1960 \, \text{N} \cdot 6.005 \, \text{m}}{1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \cdot 0.005 \, \text{m}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Young's modulus Calculating the numerator: \[ 1960 \cdot 6.005 = 11763.8 \, \text{N m} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 1 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 0.005 = 5 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}^3 \] Now, substituting these into the Young's modulus formula: \[ Y = \frac{11763.8}{5 \times 10^{-9}} \] Calculating: \[ Y = 2.35276 \times 10^{12} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Step 6: Final result Thus, the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is approximately: \[ Y \approx 2.35 \times 10^{12} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ---
