The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find Young's modulus of the material of the wire and the energy stored in the wire. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the Force The force (F) applied to the wire is given by the weight of the load. The weight can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot g \] where: - \( m = 10 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the load) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) Calculating the force: \[ F = 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 100 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Cross-Sectional Area of the Wire The diameter of the wire is given as 1 mm. First, we need to convert this to meters: \[ \text{Diameter} = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \] The radius (r) is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \] Now, we can calculate the cross-sectional area (A) using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Calculating the area: \[ A = \pi (0.5 \times 10^{-3})^2 = \pi (0.25 \times 10^{-6}) \approx 7.85 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Stress Stress (σ) is defined as the force applied per unit area: \[ \sigma = \frac{F}{A} \] Substituting the values: \[ \sigma = \frac{100 \, \text{N}}{7.85 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^2} \approx 1.27 \times 10^{8} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Strain Strain (ε) is defined as the change in length divided by the original length: \[ \epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0} \] where: - \( \Delta L = 0.3 \, \text{mm} = 0.3 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - \( L_0 = 5 \, \text{m} \) Calculating the strain: \[ \epsilon = \frac{0.3 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}}{5 \, \text{m}} = 0.00006 \] ### Step 5: Calculate Young's Modulus Young's modulus (E) is defined as the ratio of stress to strain: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon} \] Substituting the values: \[ E = \frac{1.27 \times 10^{8} \, \text{N/m}^2}{0.00006} \approx 2.12 \times 10^{12} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Energy Stored in the Wire The energy (U) stored in the wire can be calculated using the formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \sigma \epsilon A L_0 \] Substituting the values: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times (1.27 \times 10^{8}) \times (0.00006) \times (7.85 \times 10^{-7}) \times (5) \] Calculating the energy: \[ U \approx 0.0174 \, \text{J} \] ### Final Answers - Young's Modulus \( E \approx 2.12 \times 10^{12} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Energy stored \( U \approx 0.0174 \, \text{J} \)
