Length of the copper rod = 2.5 meters
Speed at which sound travels through copper = 3560 meter per second
Let us assume the time taken
by sound to cover the given distance = x seconds
We already know that
Speed = Distance/ Time
Then
Time = Distance/ Speed
x = 2.5/3560 seconds
= 0.0007 seconds.
This can ve done by hitting one end of the rod and then receiving the sound at the other end and using the stop clock to measure the time taken.
Answer:
1.635×10^-3m
Explanation:
Young modulus is the ratio of the tensile stress of a material to its tensile strain.
Young modulus = Tensile stress/tensile strain
Tensile stress = Force/Area
Given force = 130N
Area = Πr² = Π×(1.55×10^-3)²
Area = 4.87×10^-6m²
Tensile stress = 130/4.87×10^-6 = 8.39×10^7N/m²
Tensile strain = extension/original length
Tensile strain = e/3.9
Substituting in the young modulus formula given young modulus to be 2×10¹¹N/m²
2×10¹¹N/m² = 8.39×10^7/{e/3.9)}
2×10¹¹ = (8.39×10^7×3.9)/e
2×10¹¹e = 3.27×10^8
e = 3.27×10^8/2×10¹¹
e = 1.635×10^-3m
The stretch of the steel wire will be
1.635×10^-3m
