The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the increase in length (ΔL) of a wire under tension, which is derived from Young's modulus (Y). The formula is given by: \[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} \] Where: - \( \Delta L \) = increase in length - \( F \) = force applied on the wire - \( L \) = original length of the wire - \( A \) = area of cross-section of the wire - \( Y \) = Young's modulus of the material ### Step 1: Calculate the Force (F) The force applied on the wire can be calculated using the weight of the load, which is given by: \[ F = m \cdot g \] Where: - \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) (mass) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) Substituting the values: \[ F = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 10 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 2: Convert the Area of Cross-Section (A) The area of cross-section is given as \( 1 \, \text{mm}^2 \). We need to convert this to square meters: \[ A = 1 \, \text{mm}^2 = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Values into the Formula Now we have all the values needed to calculate the increase in length (ΔL). The original length \( L \) is given as \( 1.1 \, \text{m} \), and Young's modulus \( Y \) for copper is given as \( 1.1 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \). Substituting these values into the formula: \[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} = \frac{10 \, \text{N} \cdot 1.1 \, \text{m}}{1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \cdot 1.1 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation Now, simplifying the equation: \[ \Delta L = \frac{11 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}}{1.1 \times 10^{5} \, \text{N}} = \frac{11}{1.1 \times 10^{5}} \, \text{m} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \Delta L = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} = 0.1 \, \text{mm} \] ### Final Answer The increase in length of the wire is \( 0.1 \, \text{mm} \). ---
