The correct Answer is:
To find the Young's modulus of the material of the wire, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the given values - Mass of the block (m) = 500 kg - Length of the wire (L) = 70 cm = 0.7 m - Area of cross-section of the wire (A) = 10 mm² = 10 × 10⁻⁶ m² = 10 × 10⁻⁶ m² - Change in length of the wire (ΔL) = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m ### Step 2: Calculate the force (F) acting on the wire The force acting on the wire due to the suspended block can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot g \] Where \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity) is approximately \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Substituting the values: \[ F = 500 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 5000 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for Young's modulus (Y) The Young's modulus is defined as: \[ Y = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot \Delta L} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the Young's modulus formula Substituting the values we have: - \( F = 5000 \, \text{N} \) - \( L = 0.7 \, \text{m} \) - \( A = 10 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \) - \( \Delta L = 0.005 \, \text{m} \) So, \[ Y = \frac{5000 \, \text{N} \cdot 0.7 \, \text{m}}{10 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \cdot 0.005 \, \text{m}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Young's modulus Calculating the numerator: \[ 5000 \times 0.7 = 3500 \, \text{N m} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 10 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.005 = 5 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}^3 \] Now substituting back into the equation: \[ Y = \frac{3500}{5 \times 10^{-8}} \] Calculating: \[ Y = 7 \times 10^{10} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Final Result The Young's modulus of the material of the wire is: \[ Y = 7 \times 10^{10} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ---
