The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Values - Length of the wire, \( L = 1.5 \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the wire, \( r = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Mass of the load, \( m = 3 \, \text{kg} \) - Frequency of rotation, \( f = 2 \, \text{Hz} \) - Young's modulus, \( Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Forces at the Lowest Point At the lowest position, the forces acting on the wire are: 1. Gravitational force, \( F_g = mg \) 2. Centrifugal force, \( F_c = m \omega^2 L \) Where \( \omega \) (angular velocity) can be calculated using the frequency: \[ \omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \times 2 = 4\pi \, \text{rad/s} \] Now, we can calculate the gravitational force: \[ F_g = mg = 3 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 30 \, \text{N} \] Next, calculate the centrifugal force: \[ F_c = m \omega^2 L = 3 \, \text{kg} \times (4\pi)^2 \times 1.5 \, \text{m} \] Calculating \( (4\pi)^2 \): \[ (4\pi)^2 = 16\pi^2 \approx 157.9137 \] Thus, \[ F_c = 3 \times 157.9137 \times 1.5 \approx 710.61 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Total Force Acting on the Wire The total force \( F \) acting on the wire at the lowest point is: \[ F = F_g + F_c = 30 \, \text{N} + 710.61 \, \text{N} \approx 740.61 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Elongation of the Wire The elongation \( \Delta L \) of the wire can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L}{Y \cdot A} \] Where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire: \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1 \times 10^{-3})^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] Now substituting the values into the elongation formula: \[ \Delta L = \frac{740.61 \, \text{N} \cdot 1.5 \, \text{m}}{2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \cdot \pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 2 \times 10^{11} \cdot \pi \times 10^{-6} \approx 6.2832 \times 10^{5} \, \text{N} \] Now substituting back: \[ \Delta L = \frac{740.61 \cdot 1.5}{6.2832 \times 10^{5}} \approx \frac{1110.915}{6.2832 \times 10^{5}} \approx 1.77 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer The elongation of the wire is approximately: \[ \Delta L \approx 1.77 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \text{ or } 1.77 \, \text{mm} \] ---
