- An aluminium (=2.7g/cm3) wire is suspended from the ceiling and hangs vertically. How long must the wire be before the stress at its upper end reaches the proportionality limit, which is 8.0107N/m2 ?arrow_forwardIn Example 14.3, we found that one of the steel cables supporting an airplane at the Udvar-Hazy Center was under a tension of 9.30 103 N. Assume the cable has a diameter of 2.30 era and an initial length of 8.00 m before the plane is suspended on the cable. How much longer is the cable when the plane is suspended on it?arrow_forwardA steel cable 2.00 m in length and with cross-sectional radius 0.350 mm is used to suspend from the ceiling a 10.0-kg model aircraft that is flying in a horizontal circle with an angular speed of 6.00 rad/s. What is the strain produced in the cable?arrow_forward
- A horizontal, rigid bar of negligible weight is fixed against a vertical wall at one end and supported by a vertical string at the other end. The bar has a length of 50.0 cm and is used to support a hanging block of weight 400.0 N from a point 30.0 cm from the wall as shown in Figure P14.81. The string is made from a material with a tensile strength of 1.2 108 N/m2. Determine the largest diameter of the string for which it would still break.

Is the cross-sectional radius of the brass wire more, less, or equal to the cross-sectional radius of the steel wire? Explain. Youngs moduli for brass and steel are 1.0 1010 N/m2 and 2.0 1011 N/m2, respectively.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardA 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 P14.57arrow_forwardWhat Is Static Equilibrium? Problems 13 are grouped. 1. C A ball is attached to a strong, lightweight rod (Fig. P14.1). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1arrow_forward
- Consider a nanotube with a Youngs modulus of 2.130 1012 N/m2 that experiences a tensile stress of 5.3 1010 N/m2. Steel has a Youngs modulus of about 2.000 1011 Pa. How much stress would cause a piece of steel to experience the same strain as the nanotube?arrow_forwardAs illustrated in the figure, consider a circular cylindrical rod tested in a uniaxial tension test. Two points A and B located at a distance lo = 32 cm from each other are marked on the rod, and a tensile force of F = 980 N is applied on the rod. If the tensile strain and tensile stress generated in the rod were ε = 0.06 cm/cm and σ = MPa, determine: (a) The radius, r, of the rod after the application of the force 2.2 (b) The total elongation of the rod, Al, after the application of the force A B F ©arrow_forwardHuman bones have a Young's modulus of 1.5 x 1010 Pa. The bone breaks if stress exceeds 1.5 x 10° Pa. If, for example, a femur of length 25.31 cm experiences this stress compressively, what will be the new length of the bone? Answer must be in cm and in two decimal places.arrow_forward
