It would be option A (a decrease in mass with an increase in volume)
Assuming the acceleration stays constant, we have
where 
is the velocity of the car at time 
, 
is the starting velocity, and 
is the starting time. So
First of all you have that the force that is in cable in its vertical posibion is:
Fy = m * g
Fy = (26) * (9.8) = 254.8 N
Then, the force in horizontal direction will be:
Tan (x) = Fy / Fx
Clearing:
Fx = Fy / tan (x)
Substituting values:
Fx = (254.8) / (0.17 / 4)
Fx = 5995.29 N
Answer:
The horizontal force that would be necessary to displace its position 0.17 m to one side is 5995.29 N
Answer:
42000N
Explanation:
First you calculate how much it would contract, and secondly you then calculate the force to stretch it by that amount.
1) linear thermal expansion coef brass 19e-6 /K
∆L = αL∆T = (19e-6)(1.85)(110) = 0.00387 meter or 3.87 mm
Second part involves linear elasticity.
for brass, young's modulus is 15e6 psi or 100 GPa
cross-sectional area of rod is π(0.008)² = 0.0002 m²
F = EA∆L/L
F = (100e9)(0.0002)(0.00387) / (1.85)
F = 42000 or 42 kN
OPTION C is the correct answer.
