The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the situation involving the brass wire and the mass hanging from it. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a brass wire that is initially at a temperature of \(40^\circ C\) and has a radius of \(1 \, \text{mm}\). A mass \(M\) is hung from the wire. When the temperature drops to \(20^\circ C\), the wire regains its original length of \(0.2 \, \text{m}\). We need to find the value of \(M\). ### Step 2: Identify the relevant formulas 1. **Change in length due to temperature change**: \[ \Delta L = \alpha L \Delta T \] where: - \(\Delta L\) = change in length - \(\alpha\) = coefficient of linear expansion - \(L\) = original length - \(\Delta T\) = change in temperature 2. **Stress and strain relationship**: \[ \text{Stress} = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{mg}{A} \] where: - \(F\) = force due to the mass \(M\) - \(A\) = cross-sectional area of the wire 3. **Young's Modulus**: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the change in length due to cooling Given: - \(\Delta T = 40^\circ C - 20^\circ C = 20^\circ C\) - \(\alpha = 10^{-5} \, \text{°C}^{-1}\) - \(L = 0.2 \, \text{m}\) Substituting into the formula for change in length: \[ \Delta L = \alpha L \Delta T = (10^{-5})(0.2)(20) = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire The radius \(r\) of the wire is \(1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}\). The area \(A\) is given by: \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1 \times 10^{-3})^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Relate stress and strain From Young's modulus: \[ Y = \frac{mg/A}{\Delta L/L} \] Rearranging gives: \[ mg = Y \cdot A \cdot \frac{\Delta L}{L} \] ### Step 6: Substitute known values Substituting \(Y = 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2\), \(A = \pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2\), \(\Delta L = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}\), and \(L = 0.2 \, \text{m}\): \[ mg = (10^{11}) \cdot (\pi \times 10^{-6}) \cdot \frac{4 \times 10^{-5}}{0.2} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \(mg\) Calculating the right-hand side: \[ mg = (10^{11}) \cdot (\pi \times 10^{-6}) \cdot (2 \times 10^{-4}) = 2\pi \times 10^{1} \, \text{N} \] Thus, \[ M = \frac{2\pi \times 10^{1}}{g} = \frac{2\pi \times 10^{1}}{10} = 2\pi \, \text{kg} \] ### Step 8: Final calculation Using \(\pi \approx 3.14\): \[ M \approx 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \, \text{kg} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \(M\) is approximately \(6.28 \, \text{kg}\).
