An amusement park ride consists of airplane-shaped cars attached to steel rods. Each rod has length 15m and cross-sectional area 8.00cm2. Take Young's modulus for steel to be Y=2.0×1011Pa. How much is the rod stretched (change in length of ΔL) when the ride is at rest? Assume that each car with two people seated in it has a total weight of 1900N. When the ride is operating, it has a maximum angular speed of ω=8.0rev/min. How much is the rod stretched then?
