Maximum tensile force that nylon string can withstand.
The string which has to be used to prevent breakage.
Cause for breaking of string when they are hit by the ball.
Answer to Problem 50P
Solution:Maximum tensile force that nylon string can withstand is
To avoid breakage, strings should be thicker. Breakage happens when the strings are hit by a force which is greater than
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The diameter of nylon string,
Formula Used:
Tensile force that nylon string can withstand before breaking is given by stress formula
Where, A is the area of cross section, F is the required tensile strength, stress is the ultimate tensile strength of nylon here.
Calculation:
Cross-sectionalarea:
The ultimate tensile strength for nylon is
Tensile force is given by
Maximum tensile force that nylon string can withstand is
To prevent breakage, more thick strings must be used, which would increase the cross-sectional area of the strings, and thereby increment the maximum force. Area is directly related to the force. So, a thicker string will cause more force.
Breakage happens because the strings are hitwith a force which is greater than
Conclusion: Maximum tensile force that nylon string can withstand is
