Answer:
a) V = 0.354
b) G = 25.34 GPA
Explanation:
Solution:
We first determine Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of rigidity
Elongation of rod ΔL = 1.4 mm
Normal stress, δ = P/A
Where P = Force acting on the cross-section
A = Area of the cross-section
Using Area, A = π/4 · d²
= π/4 · (0.0020)² = 3.14 × 10⁻⁴m²
δ = 50/3.14 × 10⁻⁴ = 159.155 MPA
E(long) = Δl/l = 1.4/600 = 2.33 × 10⁻³mm/mm
Modulus of Elasticity Е = δ/ε
= 159.155 × 10⁶/2.33 × 10⁻³ = 68.306 GPA
Also final diameter d(f) = 19.9837 mm
Initial diameter d(i) = 20 mm
Poisson said that V = Е(elasticity)/Е(long)
= - <u>( 19.9837 - 20 /20)</u>
2.33 × 10⁻³
= 0.354,
∴ v = 0.354
Also G = Е/2. (1+V)
= 68.306 × 10⁹/ 2.(1+ 0.354)
= 25.34 GPA
⇒ G = 25.34 GPA

Solution :
The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

And the reaction for Cadmium is :
![$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%5E%7B113%7D%5Ctextrm%7BCd%7D_48%20%2B%20%5E%7B1%7D%5Ctextrm%7Bn%7D_0%20%5Crightarrow%20%5E%7B114%7D%5Ctextrm%7BCd%7D_48%20%2B%20%5Cgamma%20%5B5%20%5C%20%5Ctextrm%7BMeV%7D%5D%24)
We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.
