A steel wire of diameter 4.72 mm stretches by 7.98 mm when a 320 -kg piece of equipment is suspended from it. If the wire had a diameter of 4.75 mm instead, by what distance in mm would the equipment stretch the wire?
A mineshaft has an ore elevator hung from a single braided cable of diameter 2.5 cm. Young’s modulus of the cable is 10 x 1010 N/m2. When the cable is fully extended, the end of the cable is 800 m below the support. How much does the fully extended cable stretch when 1000 kg of ore is loaded?
The Young's modulus for aluminium is 7 × 10¹0 Pa.
You want an aluminium wire to not stretch more than 1.8 cm when a force of 369 N is applied to each end of the wire. If the wire is initially 3.9 m
long, calculate the minimum diameter (in mm) required for the wire.
