Answer:
0.71 kg
Explanation:
L = length of the steel wire = 3.0 m
d = diameter of steel wire = 0.32 mm = 0.32 x 10⁻³ m
Area of cross-section of the steel wire is given as
A = (0.25) πd²
A = (0.25) (3.14) (0.32 x 10⁻³)²
A = 8.04 x 10⁻⁸ m²
ΔL = change in length of the wire = 1.3 mm = 1.3 x 10⁻³ m
Y = Young's modulus of steel = 20 x 10¹⁰ Nm⁻²
m = mass hanging
F = weight of the mass hanging
Young's modulus of steel is given as
[tex]Y = \frac{FL}{A\Delta L}[/tex]
[tex]20\times 10^{10} = \frac{F(3)}{(8.04\times 10^{-8})(1.3\times 10^{-3})}[/tex]
F = 6.968 N
Weight of the hanging mass is given as
F = mg
6.968 = m (9.8)
m = 0.71 kg
