The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum weight that can be hung from a wire given the strain, Young's modulus, and diameter, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Strain (ε) = \( \frac{1}{1000} \) - Young's Modulus (Y) = \( 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Diameter of the wire (d) = 1 mm = \( 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) 2. **Calculate the Radius of the Wire:** \[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \] 3. **Calculate the Cross-Sectional Area (A) of the Wire:** \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (5 \times 10^{-4})^2 = \pi (25 \times 10^{-8}) = 25\pi \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}^2 \] 4. **Calculate the Maximum Stress (σ) Using Young's Modulus:** \[ \sigma = Y \cdot \epsilon = (2 \times 10^{11}) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right) = 2 \times 10^{11} \times 10^{-3} = 2 \times 10^{8} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] 5. **Relate Stress to Weight (mg):** \[ \sigma = \frac{mg}{A} \] Rearranging gives: \[ mg = \sigma \cdot A \] 6. **Substituting the Values:** \[ mg = (2 \times 10^{8}) \cdot (25\pi \times 10^{-8}) \] \[ mg = 50\pi \, \text{N} \] 7. **Calculate the Numerical Value:** Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ mg \approx 50 \cdot 3.14 = 157 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum weight that can be hung from the wire is approximately **157 N**. ---
