Answer:
the maximum length of specimen before deformation is found to be 235.6 mm
Explanation:
First, we need to find the stress on the cylinder.
Stress = σ = P/A
where,
P = Load = 2000 N
A = Cross-sectional area = πd²/4 = π(0.0037 m)²/4
A = 1.0752 x 10^-5 m²
σ = 2000 N/1.0752 x 10^-5 m²
σ = 186 MPa
Now, we find the strain (∈):
Elastic Modulus = Stress / Strain
E = σ / ∈
∈ = σ / E
∈ = 186 x 10^6 Pa/107 x 10^9 Pa
∈ = 1.74 x 10^-3 mm/mm
Now, we find the original length.
∈ = Elongation/Original Length
Original Length = Elongation/∈
Original Length = 0.41 mm/1.74 x 10^-3
<u>Original Length = 235.6 mm</u>
Water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
