Answer:
(a) Steel rod:
Copper rod:
(b) Steel rod:
Copper rod:
Explanation:
Length of each rod = 0.75 m
Diameter of each rod = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m
Tensile force exerted = 4000 N
(a) Strain is given as the ratio of change in length to the original length of a body. Mathematically, it is given as
Strain =
where Y = Young modulus
F = Fore applied
A = Cross sectional area
For the steel rod:
Y = 200 000 000 000
F = 4000N
A = (r = d/2 = 0.015/2 = 0.0075 m)
=> A =
=> A = 0.000177
∴
For the copper rod:
Y = 120 000 000 000 N/m²
F = 4000N
A = (r = d/2 = 0.015/2 = 0.0075 m)
=> A =
=> A = 0.000177
(b) We can find the elongation by multiplying the Strain by the original length of the rods:
Elongation = Strain * Length
For the steel rod:
Elongation =
For the copper rod:
Elongation =
