The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the new increase in length of the steel wire when the load is fully immersed in a liquid of relative density 2. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions - The mass of the load is \( M \) kg. - The length of the steel wire is \( L = 2 \) m. - The radius of the steel wire is \( r = 1.0 \) mm = \( 1.0 \times 10^{-3} \) m. - The initial increase in length of the wire is \( \Delta L = 4.0 \) mm = \( 4.0 \times 10^{-3} \) m. ### Step 2: Calculate the initial force acting on the wire The initial force acting on the wire when the load is suspended is given by the weight of the load: \[ F = Mg \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 3: Calculate the buoyant force when the load is immersed When the load is fully immersed in a liquid of relative density \( 2 \), the buoyant force \( F_b \) acting on the load can be calculated using the formula: \[ F_b = \rho_{\text{liquid}} \cdot V \cdot g \] where \( \rho_{\text{liquid}} = 2 \cdot \rho_{\text{water}} \) and \( V \) is the volume of the load. The volume \( V \) of the load can be expressed in terms of its mass and relative density: \[ V = \frac{M}{\rho_{\text{material}} \cdot \rho_{\text{water}}} = \frac{M}{8 \cdot \rho_{\text{water}}} \] Thus, the buoyant force becomes: \[ F_b = 2 \cdot \rho_{\text{water}} \cdot \frac{M}{8 \cdot \rho_{\text{water}}} \cdot g = \frac{Mg}{4} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the net force acting on the wire when immersed The net force \( F' \) acting on the wire when the load is immersed is: \[ F' = Mg - F_b = Mg - \frac{Mg}{4} = \frac{3Mg}{4} \] ### Step 5: Relate the new increase in length to the initial increase Using Hooke's law, we know that the increase in length is directly proportional to the force applied: \[ \frac{\Delta L'}{\Delta L} = \frac{F'}{F} \] Substituting the forces: \[ \frac{\Delta L'}{4 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{\frac{3Mg}{4}}{Mg} = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 6: Solve for the new increase in length Now, we can solve for the new increase in length \( \Delta L' \): \[ \Delta L' = \frac{3}{4} \cdot 4 \times 10^{-3} = 3 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} = 3.0 \text{ mm} \] ### Final Answer The new value of the increase in length of the steel wire when the load is fully immersed in the liquid is **3.0 mm**. ---
