A cylindrical aluminium rod, with an initial length of 0.8000 m and radius 1000.0 `mu m`, is clamped in place at one end and then stretched by a machine pulling parallel to its length at its other end. Assuming that the rod's density (mass per unit volume) does not change, find the force magnitude that is required of the machine to decrease the radius to `999.9 mu m` (The yield strength is not exceeded, `E_("aluminium")=70xx10^(9)N//m^(2)`).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the concepts of elasticity, specifically Young's modulus, and the relationship between stress, strain, and force. ### Step 1: Understand the problem and gather the given data - Initial length of the rod, \( L_0 = 0.8000 \, \text{m} \) - Initial radius of the rod, \( R_0 = 1000.0 \, \mu m = 1000.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \) - Final radius of the rod, \( R_f = 999.9 \, \mu m = 999.9 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \) - Young's modulus for aluminum, \( E = 70 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the initial and final cross-sectional areas The cross-sectional area \( A \) of a cylinder is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi R^2 \] - Initial area \( A_0 \): \[ A_0 = \pi (R_0)^2 = \pi (1000 \times 10^{-6})^2 = \pi (10^{-3})^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] - Final area \( A_f \): \[ A_f = \pi (R_f)^2 = \pi (999.9 \times 10^{-6})^2 = \pi (999.9^2 \times 10^{-12}) \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Use the principle of conservation of volume Since the density does not change, the volume before and after stretching must be equal: \[ A_0 L_0 = A_f L_f \] Where \( L_f \) is the final length of the rod after stretching. Rearranging gives: \[ L_f = \frac{A_0 L_0}{A_f} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the change in length The change in length \( \Delta L \) is given by: \[ \Delta L = L_f - L_0 \] ### Step 5: Relate stress, strain, and Young's modulus The stress \( \sigma \) is defined as: \[ \sigma = \frac{F}{A_0} \] The strain \( \epsilon \) is defined as: \[ \epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0} \] According to Young's modulus: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon} \] Thus: \[ F = \sigma A_0 = E \cdot \epsilon \cdot A_0 \] ### Step 6: Substitute the values Substituting for stress and strain: \[ F = E \cdot \left(\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\right) \cdot A_0 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the force Now we can calculate the force \( F \) using the values we have. 1. Calculate \( A_0 \) and \( A_f \): - \( A_0 = \pi (1000 \times 10^{-6})^2 \) - \( A_f = \pi (999.9 \times 10^{-6})^2 \) 2. Calculate \( L_f \) using the conservation of volume. 3. Calculate \( \Delta L \). 4. Substitute into the force equation to find \( F \). ### Final Calculation After performing the calculations, we find: \[ F \approx 44 \, \text{N} \]
