The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for Young's modulus (Y), which is defined as: \[ Y = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot \Delta L} \] Where: - \( Y \) = Young's modulus - \( F \) = force applied - \( L \) = original length of the rope - \( A \) = cross-sectional area of the rope - \( \Delta L \) = elongation produced in the rope ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Young's modulus, \( Y = 20 \times 10^{11} \, \text{dyne/cm}^2 \) - Length of the rope, \( L = 10 \, \text{m} = 1000 \, \text{cm} \) (since 1 m = 100 cm) - Diameter of the rope, \( d = 2 \, \text{cm} \) - Elongation, \( \Delta L = 1 \, \text{cm} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the radius of the rope The radius \( r \) can be calculated from the diameter: \[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2 \, \text{cm}}{2} = 1 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the cross-sectional area \( A \) The area \( A \) of the rope can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1 \, \text{cm})^2 = \pi \, \text{cm}^2 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the Young's modulus formula to find the force \( F \) We need to isolate \( F \) in the Young's modulus formula: \[ F = \frac{Y \cdot A \cdot \Delta L}{L} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the known values into the formula Substituting the known values into the equation: \[ F = \frac{(20 \times 10^{11} \, \text{dyne/cm}^2) \cdot (\pi \, \text{cm}^2) \cdot (1 \, \text{cm})}{1000 \, \text{cm}} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the force \( F \) Now we can calculate \( F \): \[ F = \frac{20 \times 10^{11} \cdot \pi \cdot 1}{1000} \] \[ F = \frac{20 \times 10^{11} \cdot 3.14}{1000} \] \[ F = \frac{62.8 \times 10^{11}}{1000} \] \[ F = 6.28 \times 10^{9} \, \text{dyne} \] ### Step 7: Convert dyne to Newton Since \( 1 \, \text{Newton} = 10^5 \, \text{dyne} \): \[ F = \frac{6.28 \times 10^{9}}{10^5} \] \[ F = 6.28 \times 10^{4} \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer The force applied on the rope is \( 6.28 \times 10^{4} \, \text{N} \). ---

To solve the problem, we will use the formula for Young's modulus (Y), which is defined as: \[ Y = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot \Delta L} \] Where: - \( Y \) = Young's modulus - \( F \) = force applied - \( L \) = original length of the rope ...
