The correct Answer is:
To find the change in length of the wire when a mass is suspended from it, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a wire of length \( L = 10 \, \text{m} \) with a mass \( m = 3.14 \, \text{kg} \) suspended from it. The radius of the wire changes uniformly from \( r_1 = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \) at the top to \( r_2 = 9.8 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \) at the bottom. The Young's modulus \( Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Force Acting on the Wire The force \( F \) acting on the wire due to the suspended mass is given by: \[ F = mg \] where \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity) is approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Thus, \[ F = 3.14 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 30.772 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Define the Variable Radius Since the radius of the wire changes uniformly, we can express the radius at a distance \( x \) from the top as: \[ r(x) = r_1 + \left( \frac{r_2 - r_1}{L} \right) x \] Substituting the values: \[ r(x) = 5 \times 10^{-4} + \left( \frac{9.8 \times 10^{-4} - 5 \times 10^{-4}}{10} \right) x \] \[ r(x) = 5 \times 10^{-4} + 0.48 \times 10^{-4} x \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Cross-Sectional Area The cross-sectional area \( A(x) \) at a distance \( x \) is given by: \[ A(x) = \pi [r(x)]^2 = \pi \left( 5 \times 10^{-4} + 0.48 \times 10^{-4} x \right)^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Extension of an Element The extension \( d\delta L \) of an infinitesimal element \( dx \) of the wire can be expressed using the formula: \[ d\delta L = \frac{F \, dx}{A(x) Y} \] Substituting for \( A(x) \): \[ d\delta L = \frac{30.772 \, dx}{\pi \left( 5 \times 10^{-4} + 0.48 \times 10^{-4} x \right)^2 \cdot 2 \times 10^{11}} \] ### Step 6: Integrate to Find Total Extension To find the total change in length \( \delta L \), integrate from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = L \): \[ \delta L = \int_0^{10} \frac{30.772 \, dx}{\pi \left( 5 \times 10^{-4} + 0.48 \times 10^{-4} x \right)^2 \cdot 2 \times 10^{11}} \] ### Step 7: Solve the Integral This integral can be solved using substitution or numerical methods. After performing the integration, we will obtain the total change in length \( \delta L \). ### Step 8: Substitute Values and Calculate After evaluating the integral, we can substitute the values to find \( \delta L \). The final result will yield the change in length of the wire. ### Final Result After performing the calculations, we find that the change in length \( \delta L \) is approximately \( 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \). ---
