Problem 13.145 - DEPENDENT MULTI-PART PROBLEM - ASSIGN ALL PARTS NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitte
d, you will be unable to return to this part. A 100-ton tugboat is moving at 6 ft/s with a slack towing cable attached to a 100-ton barge that is at rest. The cable is being unwound from a drum on the tugboat at a constant rate of 5.4 ft/s and that rate is maintained after the cable becomes taut. Problem 13.145.a - Tugboat velocity Neglecting the resistance of the water, determine the velocity of the barge after the cable becomes taut. (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.) The velocity of the TUGBOAT after the cable becomes taut is ft/s.

Answer:
The extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 4.0 kg
length of the aluminum wire, L = 2.0 m
diameter of the wire, d = 2.0 mm
radius of the wire, r = d/2 = 1.0 mm = 0.001 m
The area of the wire is given by;
A = πr²
A = π(0.001)² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²
The downward force of the object on the wire is given by;
F = mg
F = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N
The Young's modulus of aluminum is given by;
Where;
Young's modulus of elasticity of aluminum = 69 x 10⁹ N/m²
Therefore, the extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.
