A wire is hanged from the ceiling without any weight below it, would there any stress in the wire ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, it is because the weight of wire is acting as a deforming force.

A light rod AC of length 2.00 m is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied to its ends. One of the wires is made of steel and is of cross-section 10^(-3) m^(2) and the other is of brass of cross-section 2xx10^(-3) m^(2) . The position of point D from end A along the rod at which a weight may be hung to produce equal stress and strain in both the wires is [Young's modulus of steel is 2xx10^(11) Nm^(2) and for brass is 1xx10^(11) Nm^(-2) ]

A wire is suspended from the ceiling and stretched under the action of a weight F suspended from its other end. The force exerted by the ceiling on it is equal and opposite to the weight.

One end of uniform wire of length L and of weight W is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight N is suspended from its lower end if s is the area of cross-section of the wire the stress in the wire at a height (L)/(4) from its lower end is

A mild steel wire of length 2L and crosssectional area A is stretched, well within elastic limit, horizontally between two pillars as shown in figure. A mass m is suspended from the mid point of the wire, the mid point lower by distance x. Then strain in the wire is ......

A conducting wire of length 1 has resistance R. If its length is increased to nl by stretching it uniformly, what would be the new resistance of wire ? (Assume that there is no change in the volume of the wire when it is stretched.)

A sonometer wire is vibrating in resonance with a tuning fork. Keeping the tension applied same, the length of the wire is doubled. Under what conditions would the tuning fork still be is resonance with the wire?

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of same length and of same area of cross section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of:

A piece of wire is bent in the shape of a parabola y=kx^(2) (y-axis vertical) with a bead of mass m on it. The bead can slide on the wire without friction. It stays at the lowest point of the parabola when the wire is at rest. The wire is now accelerated parallel to the x-axis with a constant acceleration a. The distance of the new equilibrium position of the bead, where the bead can stay at rest with respect to the wire, from the y-axis is:
