Complete question is;

A force stretches a wire by 0.60 mm. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

a) How far will it be stretched by the same force?

b) A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force?

Answer:

0.15 mm

Explanation:

According to Hooke's Law,

E = Stress(σ)/Strain(ε)

Where E is youngs modulus

Formula for stress is;

Stress(σ) = Force(F)/Area(A)

Formula for strain is;

Strain(ε) = Change in length/original length = (Lf - Li)/Li

We are also told that a second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length.

Thus;

Rearranging Hooke's Law to get the constants on one side, we have;

F/(AE) = ε

Thus from the conditions given;

ε1 = 0.6/Li

ε2 = (Change in length)/(2*Li)

And ε1 = ε2

Thus;

0.6/Li = Change in length/(2*Li)

Li will cancel out and we now have;

Change in length = 2 × 0.6 = 1.2 mm

Finally, we are told A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first.

Area of a circle;A1 = πd²/4

Now, we are told d is doubled.

Thus, new area of the new circle is;

A2 = π(2d)²/4 = πd²

Rearranging Hooke's Law,we have;

F/A = εE

Since F and E are now constants, we have;

F/E = constant = Aε

Thus;

A1(ε1) = A2(ε2)

A1 = πd²/4

e1 = 0.60/Li

A2 = πd²

e2 = Change in length/Li

Thus;

((πd²/4) × 0.6)/Li = (πd² × Change in length)/ Li

Rearranging, Li and πd² will cancel out to give;

0.6/4 = Change in length

Change in length = 0.15 mm

A 34n force is applied to a 213kg mass how much does the mass accelerate
motikmotik
We Know, F = m*a
Here, F = 34 N
m = 213 Kg

Substitute their values in the equation,
34 = 213 * a
a = 34/213
a = 0.159 m/s²

So, your final answer & the acceleration of the object would be 0.159 m/s²

Hope this helps!

Increasing the # of pulleys increases the _______ but decreases the amount of ______ applied
Maksim231197 [3]

Distance, Force

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Increasing the load will add to the friction on the bearings of the pulleys, thus reducing the efficiency of the system.  The ideal mechanical advantage won't change since the ideal mechanical advantage ignores friction.

2)  Increasing the number of pulleys will increase the ideal mechanical advantage, but because of friction it will decrease the efficiency.  The more pulleys that are turning, the more friction there is, and the less efficient the system will be.

3)  Work = force x distance, and what machines do is alter the amount of force you can apply while at the same time reducing the distance moved by the same factor.  For instance, a jack multiplies the force you apply by a factor of 100, when you push down on the handle of the jack 100 cm, the car will only go up 1 cm.  So the force x distance is the same 100 x force x 1/100 x distance.
