Galaxies are sprawling systems of dust, gas, dark matter, and anywhere from a million to a trillion stars that are held together by gravity. Nearly all large galaxies are thought to also contain supermassive black holes at their centers.
Answer:
Δ L = 2.57 x 10⁻⁵ m
Explanation:
given,
cross sectional area = 1.6 m²
Mass of column = 26600 Kg
Elastic modulus, E = 5 x 10¹⁰ N/m²
height = 7.9 m
Weight of the column = 26600 x 9.8
= 260680 N
we know,
Young's modulus=
stress = 
= 
= 162925
strain = 
now,



Δ L = 2.57 x 10⁻⁵ m
The column is shortened by Δ L = 2.57 x 10⁻⁵ m
