Elasticity

Two masses connected by a metal wire are being pulled apart. The maximum force that can be applied to the 3kg mass before the wire breaks is being calculated based on the wire's cross-sectional area and breaking stress.

mm2. Breaking stress stress of metal wire is 2.5 GPa, then find the maximum force that can bev
applied to 3 kg block so that wire will not break.

2. A metal wire of length L1 and C.S.A equals to A is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire
of length L2 and same C.S.A is attached to the free end of the first wire. A body of mass M is then
suspended from the free end of the second wire. If Y1 & Y2 are the young’s moduli of the wires
respectively, then find the effective force constant of the system of the two wires

3. A massless rod of length L is hanging from a horizontal ceiling with help of two wires, of equal
length and diameter, attached to the ends of the rod. If the young’s modulus of the first wire is Y
and the second wire is 1.2Y and a mass M is attached to the rod at a distance X from the first
wire. For the same stretching of the two wires find the magnitude of X/L.

4. A mild steel wire of length 2L C.S.A equals to A is stretched, well within elastic limit, horizontally
between two pillars as shown in figure. A mass ‘m’ is suspended from the mid point of the steel
wire, then find the developed strain in wire.

5. The system is rotated with angular speed 𝜔0 as shown in figure, then find the ratio of energy
stored in each wire.

symmetrically between fixed walls separated by 1001 mm. the young’s modulus of the rod is
1011 N/m2. If the temperature of rod is increased by 200 C then find the stress (in N/m2)
developed in the rod.
