let the length of the beam be "L"
from the diagram
AD = length of beam = L
AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2
BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10
BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10
m = mass of beam = 20 kg
m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg
m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg
using equilibrium of torque about B
(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)
30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)
L = 1.98 m
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.
