The figure shows an approximate plot of stress versus strain for a spider-web thread, out to the point of breaking at a strain of 2.20. The vertical axis scale is set by a = 0.160 GN/m²,b = 0.500 GN/m2, and c = 0.72O GN/m². Assume that the thread has an initial length of 0.700 cm, an initial cross-sectional area of 7.00 × 10-12 m², and (during stretching) a constant volume. The strain on the thread is the ratio of the change in the thread's length to that initial length, and the stress on the thread is the ratio of the collision force to that initial cross-sectional area. Assume also that when the single thread snares a flying insect, the insect's kinetic energy is transferred to the stretching of the thread. (a) How much kinetic energy would put the thread on the verge of breaking? What is the kinetic energy of (b) a fruit fly of mass 5.50 mg and speed 2.20 m/s and (c) a bumble bee of mass 0.440 g and speed 0.840 m/s? Would (d) the fruit fly and (e) the bumble bee break the thread? 0.900 1.20 2.20 Strain Stress (GN/m2)

Consider a square-faced beam supporting a section of a building. a) Before installation, the length of the beam is found to be l0 = 15.02 m (figure a). After installation and construction, the length is remeasured and found to be l = 14.98 m (figure b). Determine Young's Modulus Y in N/m2 for the beam if it supports a mass m = 35000 kg and has a side length d = 1.9 m. b) Suppose that after the beam is installed it needs to be repaired. The weight it supports is removed and replaced with a new mass m2 (figure c). After the new mass is supported, the side length is remeasured and found to be larger with a difference of Δd. Assuming that this side length deformation is uniform and small, write an expression for determining Poisson's ratio v for this beam if its Young's modulus Y is known.

When the ride is operating, it has a maximum angular speed of ω=8.0rev/min. How much is the rod stretched then?
