Transcribed Image Text:A copper wire of length 1.80 m and diameter 0.80 mm is suspended from two
points, 1.0 m apart and at the same horizontal level. A load of 2.5 kg is hung
from the centre of the wire.
The wire makes an angle 8 to the vertical at point P and experiences a force F
as shown in the diagram below.

Calculate the angle with which each part of the wire makes with the
vertical at the point where the load is hung.
Determine the stress in the wire.
iii. Determine the strain in the wire.
m = 2.5 kg
(Young's modulus for copper = 1.17 x 10¹¹ Pa)
iv. Determine the extension produced in the wire by this strain.
