A copper rod with length 1.4 m and cross-sectional area 2.0 cm2 is fastened to a steel rod of length L and cross-sectional area 1.0 cm2. The compound structure is pulled on each side by two forces of equal magnitude 6.00 104 N (Fig. P14.57). Find the length L of the steel rod if the elongations (L) of the two rods are equal. Use the values Ysteel = 2.0 1011 Pa and YCu = 1.1 1011 Pa. FIGURE P14.57
Review. On a day that the temperature is 20.0C, a concrete walk is poured in such a way that the ends of the walk are unable to move. Take Youngs modulus for concrete to be 7.00 109 N/m2 and the compressive strength to be 2.00 109 N/m2. (a) What is the stress in the cement on a hot day of 50.0C? (b) Does the concrete fracture?
A 100-N weight is attached to a free end of a metallic wire that hangs from the ceiling. When a second 100-N weight is added to the wire, it stretches 3.0 mm. The diameter and the length of the wire are 1.0 mm and2.0 m, respectively. What is Young’s modulus of the metal used to manufacture the wire?
Artificial diamonds can be made using high-pressure, high-temperature presses. Suppose an artificial diamond of volume 1.00 106 m3 is formed under a pressure of 5.00 GPa. Find the change in its volume when it is released from the press and brought to atmospheric pressure. Take the diamonds bulk modulus to be B = 194 GPa.

A certain hydraulic system is designed to exert a force 100 times as large as the one put into it. (a) What must be the ratio of the area of the slave cylinder to the area of the master cylinder? (b) What must be the ratio of their diameters? (c) By what factor is the distance through which the output force moves reduced relative to the distance through which the input force moves? Assume no losses to friction.
A scuba diver makes a slow descent into the depths of the ocean. His vertical position with respect to a boat on the surface changes several times. He makes the first stop 9.0 m from the boat but has a problem with equalizing the pressure, so he ascends 3.0 m and then continues descending for another 12.0 m to the second stop. From there, he ascends 4 m and then descends for 18.0 m, ascends again for 7 m and descends again for 24.0 m, where he makes a stop, waiting for his buddy. Assuming the positive direction up to the surface, express his net vertical displacement vector in terms of the unit vector. What is his distance to the boat?
Normal forces of magnitude 1.0106N are applied uniformly to a spherical surface enclosing a volume of a liquid. This causes the radius of the surface to decrease from 50.000 cm to 49.995 cm. What is the bulk modulus of the liquid?
In about 1657, Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P15.62). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then with greatest difficulty, with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing. Find the force F required to pull the thin-walled evacuated hemispheres apart in terms of R, the radius of the hemispheres; P, the pressure inside the hemispheres; and atmospheric pressure P0.

You are watching a new bridge being built near your house. You notice during the construction that two concrete spans are placed end to end to form a span of length Li. However, they are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P18.11a). In the opening storyline for this chapter, we talked about buckling sidewalks. The same thing will happen with spans on bridges if allowance is not made for expansion (Fig. P18.11b). You want to warn the construction crew about this dangerous situation, so you calculate the height y to which the spans will rise when they buckle in response to a temperature increase of T.
The total cross-sectional area of the load-bearing calcified portion of the two forearm bones (radius and ulna) is approximately 2.4 cm2. During a car crash, the forearm is slammed against the dashboard. The arm comes to rest from an initial speed of 80 km/h in 5.0 ms. If the arm has an effective mass of 3.0 kg and bone material can withstand a maximum compressional stress of 16 107 Pa, is the arm likely to withstand the crash?
