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).

Question

A 5.0-kg bowling ball is attached to the end of a nylon cord with a Young's modulus of $3.7 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2$ and a cross-sectional area of $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}^2$. The other end of the cord is fixed to the ceiling. When the bowling ball is pulled to one side and released from rest, it swings downward in a circular arc. At the instant it reaches its lowest point, the bowling ball is 1.1 m lower than the point it was released from, and the cord is stretched $3.4 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}$ from its unstrained length. What is the unstrained length of the cord?

*Hint: When calculating any quantity other than the strain, ignore the increase in length of the cord.*

### Diagram Explanation

- The diagram illustrates the motion of the bowling ball attached to the nylon cord.
- $L_0$ represents the unstrained length of the cord.
- $h_0 - h_t$ represents the vertical distance the ball has descended, equal to 1.1 m.
- The ball moves from a higher initial position to a lower position, illustrating the swinging motion.
- $v_t$ shows the direction of the velocity of the bowling ball at the lowest point of its swing.

#### Input Fields:

- **Number:** Enter the calculated unstrained length of the cord.
- **Units:** Select the appropriate units for your answer.

A drum is used to drag a [ma]-kg block A up the slope (0 = [0]°). The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and slope are 0.5 and 0.3 respectively. The [mp]-kg drum has a radius of 0.6 m and a radius of gyration of [k] mm. A constant torque of [t] Nm (CCW) is supplied to the drum.

7. A 5.00-kg solid ball of radius 0.250 meters is pressed back against a spring having a spring constant of 1625 N/m, compressing the spring by 20.0 cm. The solid ball is released, and the object rolls 1.00 meter on a frictionless horizontal surface (without slipping) and then rolls up a rough 3.00 meter long incline plane (with an angle of 10.0 degrees to the horizontal). The ball eventually comes to rest at the top of the incline plane. When the ball rolls down the incline plane and compresses the spring, how much will the ball compress the spring? 3.00 m 1.00 m
A small ball is attached to one end of a spring that has an unstrained length of 0.185 m. The spring is held by the other end, and the ball is whirled around in a horizontal circle at a speed of 4.80 m/s. The spring remains nearly parallel to the ground during the motion and is observed to stretch by 0.0190 m. By how much would the spring stretch if it were attached to the ceiling and the ball allowed to hang straight down, motionless? Number Units
