A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight

Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

m is mass supported by the steel
g is acceleration due to gravity
A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

ΔL is change in length
L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL) =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW) =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9

A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf

mihalych1998 [28]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a measure of the ability of a capacitor to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is a constant defined as:

$C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}$
