Answer:
0.4757 mm
Explanation:
Given that:
Load P = 223,000 N
the length of the height of the aluminium column = 1.22 m
the diameter of the aluminum column = 10.2 cm = 0.102 m
The amount that the column has shrunk ΔL can be determined by using the formula:
where;
A = πr²
2r = D
r = D/2
r = 0.102/2
r = 0.051
A = π(0.051)²
A = 0.00817
Also; the young modulus of aluminium is:
ΔL = 4.757 × 10⁻⁴ m
ΔL = 0.4757 mm
Hence; the amount that the column has shrunk is 0.4757 mm
