An amusement park ride consists of airplane-shaped cars attached to steel rods. Each rod has a length of 15m and a cross-section

al area 8.00cm^2. Take Young's modulus for steel to be Y= 2.0 x 10^11 Pa.
How much is the rod stretched (change in length of) when the ride is at rest? Assume that each car with two people seated in it has a total weight of 1900 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of each rod, L = 15 m

Area of cross section of the rod, A=8\ cm^2=0.0008\ m^2

Young's modulus for steel, Y=2\times 10^{11}\ Pa

Total weight of two people, F = 1900 N

We need to find the stretching in the rod when the ride is at rest. The formula of Young's modulus of a material is given by :

Y=\dfrac{FL}{A\Delta L}

Here, \Delta L is the stretching in the rod

\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{YA}\\\\\Delta L=\dfrac{1900\times 15}{2\times 10^{11}\times 0.0008}\\\\\Delta L=1.78\times 10^{-4}\ m

So, the rod will stretched to 1.78\times 10^{-4}\ m

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.
