(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²
(b) The strain in the post is 7.61 x 10⁻⁶
(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.
<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>
A = πd²/4
where;
d is the diameter
A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²
<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>
σ = F/A
σ = mg/A
where;
- m is mass supported by the steel
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- A is the area of the steel post
σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)
σ = 1,568,000 N/m²
<h3>Strain of the post</h3>
E = stress / strain
where;
- E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa
strain = stress/E
strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)
strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶
<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>
strain = ΔL/L
where;
- ΔL is change in length
- L is original length
ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5
ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

[Assuming that you've written 3.40 kg in 'a', and not 3.90 kg]
(a) 3,400 g x <u>0.001</u> = 3.40 kg [converting grams to kilograms]
(b) 220 cm x <u>0.01</u> = <u>2.2</u> m [converting centimeters to meters]
(c) 9.42 kg x <u>1000</u> = <u>9420</u> g [converting kilograms to grams]
(d) 6.53 m x <u>100</u> = <u>653</u> cm [converting meters to centimeters]
<span>Tree's are vital to the eco-system, they clean the air of co2 which is important for the air and water. Tree's also stop erosion and that is an important step in keeping our water clean. Tree's filter water up through the soil with their extensive root system, making for clean water.</span>
