You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th

e wire, and find that the wire stretched 1.99 mm. Calculate Young’s modulus for the wire. [Use g = 9.81 m/s2]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

What does a tachometer measure?
nlexa [21]
A tachometer measures, for example it measures the MPH(Miles Per Hour) in a car.  So like it measures your speed, so you could be going 100 MPH.

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
slava [35]
A. Is very attractive. If it's sublimation directly from water vapor in the air to ice on the glass, then yes. But from liquid water mist to water ice, no. Ice is less dense than water. That's why cubes float in your soda. Better leave 'A' alone. . . . D. Ice pellets turn to liquid. That one's good.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position
german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
