Answer:
1.74×10⁻³ m
Explanation:
Applying,
ε = Stress/strain............. Equation 1
Where ε = Young's modulus
But,
Stress = F/A.............. Equation 2
Where F = Force, A = Area
Strain = e/L.............. Equation 3
e = extension, L = Length.
Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1
ε = (F/A)/(e/L) = FL/eA............. Equation 4
From the question,
Given: F = 285 N, L = 29 cm = 0.29 m, ε = 5.00×10⁹ N/m²,
A = πd²/4 = 3.14(0.0011²)/4 = 9.4985×10⁻⁶ m²
Substitute these values into equation 4
5.00×10⁹ = (285×0.29)/(9.4985×10⁻⁶×e)
Solve for e
e = (285×0.29)/(5.00×10⁹×9.4985×10⁻⁶)
e = 82.65/4.74925×10⁴
e = 1.74×10⁻³ m
