A `0.1 kg` mass is suspended from a wire of negligible mass. The length of the wire is `1 m` and its cross - sectional area is `4.9xx10^(-7) m^(2)`. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released , it performs `SHM` with angular frequency `140 rad s^(-1)`. If the young's modulus of the material of the wire is ` pxx10^(9) Nm^(-2)`, find the value of `p`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the angular frequency \( \omega \) of a mass-spring system, which can be related to Young's modulus \( Y \) of the wire. The formula is given by: \[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{Y \cdot A}{M \cdot L}} \] Where: - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( Y \) is Young's modulus, - \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire, - \( M \) is the mass suspended, - \( L \) is the length of the wire. ### Step 1: Identify the known values From the problem, we have: - Mass \( M = 0.1 \, \text{kg} \) - Length \( L = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Cross-sectional area \( A = 4.9 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^2 \) - Angular frequency \( \omega = 140 \, \text{rad/s} \) ### Step 2: Substitute the known values into the formula We can rearrange the formula to solve for Young's modulus \( Y \): \[ Y = \frac{\omega^2 \cdot M \cdot L}{A} \] Substituting the known values: \[ Y = \frac{(140)^2 \cdot (0.1) \cdot (1)}{4.9 \times 10^{-7}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( \omega^2 \) First, calculate \( \omega^2 \): \[ \omega^2 = 140^2 = 19600 \, \text{(rad/s)}^2 \] ### Step 4: Substitute and calculate \( Y \) Now substitute \( \omega^2 \) back into the equation for \( Y \): \[ Y = \frac{19600 \cdot 0.1 \cdot 1}{4.9 \times 10^{-7}} \] \[ Y = \frac{1960}{4.9 \times 10^{-7}} \] ### Step 5: Perform the division Now calculate the division: \[ Y = 1960 \div (4.9 \times 10^{-7}) = 1960 \times \frac{1}{4.9} \times 10^{7} \] Calculating \( \frac{1960}{4.9} \): \[ \frac{1960}{4.9} \approx 400 \] Thus, \[ Y \approx 400 \times 10^{7} \, \text{N/m}^2 = 4 \times 10^{9} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Step 6: Identify the value of \( p \) From the problem, we have \( Y = p \times 10^{9} \, \text{N/m}^2 \). Therefore, we find: \[ p = 4 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( p \) is \( 4 \). ---
