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 uniform flexible cable 200 meters long weighs 5000-Newton. The resultant tensions at the ends of the cable are 8000-Newton and 8800-Newton, respectively. What is the difference in elevation of the two ends? How far is the lowest point of the cable below the lower end? What is the horizontal distance between the ends?

8₁ 02 9. The diagram of the leg shows the femur (1) and tibia (2). The quadriceps muscle (3) applies a force to the lower leg via a tendon (4) that is embedded with the kneecap (5). If the force applied by the muscle to the tendon is F 570 N, what is the force of the femur on the kneecap, if the leg is in equilibrium? A simplified model of the leg is shown next to the diagram. The leg bones are represented by two beams attached by a pin. The tendon is modelled by a rope and the kneecap acts like a pulley. The tendon above the kneecap makes an angle 8, = 38° with respect to the vertical, and the portion of the tendon below the kneecap makes an angle of 6₂ = 10° with respect to the vertical. Enter the x component, followed by the y component. Answer 1 of 2: Answer 2 of 2: Submit All Answers
