**Question:**A 25-kg piece of equipment can be hung by steel wires of length 1.00 m, 2.00 m, or 3.00 m. If all the wires have the same diameter, which one will stretch the greatest distance?- the 3.00 meter wire- They will all stretch by the same distance- the 1.00 meter wire- the 2.00 meter wire**Explanation:**The question is exploring which steel wire will stretch the most when a 25-kg weight is hung from it. The wires vary in length (1.00 m, 2.00 m, and 3.00 m) but have the same diameter. The stretch of a wire under a load is described by Young's modulus, which links stress and strain. The longer the wire, the more it will stretch under the same force, given that the material and cross-sectional area are consistent. So, the correct answer is "the 3.00 meter wire."

Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).

Steel construction beams, with an industry designation of "W12 × 25," have a weight of 25 pounds per foot. A new business in town has hired you to place its sign on a 4.0 m long steel beam of this type. The design calls for the beam to extend outward horizontally from the front brick wall, as shown in the figure. It is to be held in place by a 5.0-m-long steel cable. The cable is attached to one end of the beam and to the wall above the point at which the beam is in contact with the wall. During an initial stage of construction, the beam is not to be bolted to the wall, but to be held in place solely by friction. 5.0 m 4.0 m Tipler & Mosca, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6e © 2008 W.H.
