The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the mass \( M \) that is hung from the brass wire. We will use the concepts of thermal expansion and Hooke's law. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have a brass wire with a radius of \( r = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \). - The wire is initially at \( 40^\circ C \) and is cooled to \( 20^\circ C \). - The original length of the wire is \( L_0 = 0.2 \, \text{m} \). - The coefficient of linear expansion of brass is \( \alpha = 10^{-5} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \). - The Young's modulus of brass is \( Y = 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \). - The acceleration due to gravity is \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). 2. **Calculate the Change in Temperature**: \[ \Delta T = T_{\text{final}} - T_{\text{initial}} = 20^\circ C - 40^\circ C = -20^\circ C \] 3. **Calculate the Change in Length Due to Thermal Contraction**: The change in length \( \Delta L \) due to thermal contraction can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta L = L_0 \cdot \alpha \cdot \Delta T \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta L = 0.2 \, \text{m} \cdot (10^{-5} \, \text{°C}^{-1}) \cdot (-20) = -4 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m} \] 4. **Using Hooke's Law**: According to Hooke's law, the extension \( \Delta L \) due to the mass \( M \) hanging from the wire is given by: \[ \Delta L = \frac{M g L_0}{A Y} \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire: \[ A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1 \times 10^{-3})^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] 5. **Equating the Two Expressions for \( \Delta L \)**: Since the wire regains its original length, we can equate the two expressions for \( \Delta L \): \[ -4 \times 10^{-5} = \frac{M g L_0}{A Y} \] Rearranging gives: \[ M = -4 \times 10^{-5} \cdot \frac{A Y}{g L_0} \] 6. **Substituting the Values**: Now substituting the values into the equation: \[ M = -4 \times 10^{-5} \cdot \frac{\pi \times 10^{-6} \cdot 10^{11}}{10 \cdot 0.2} \] Simplifying: \[ M = -4 \times 10^{-5} \cdot \frac{\pi \times 10^{5}}{2} = -2 \times 10^{-5} \cdot \pi \times 10^{5} = -2\pi \, \text{kg} \] 7. **Final Result**: The mass \( M \) is approximately \( 2\pi \, \text{kg} \). ### Conclusion: The value of \( M \) is close to \( 6.28 \, \text{kg} \).
