A rod of length l and negligible mass is suspended at its two ends by two wires of steel (wire A) and aluminium (wire B) of equal lengths (Fig. 9.4). The cross-sectional areas of wires A and B are 1.0 mm2 and 2.0 mm2, respectively. YAl=70 × 10 9 N m - 2 and Ysteel= 200 × 10 9 N m - 2

(a) Mass m should be suspended close to wire A to have equal stresses in both the wires

(b) Mass m should be suspended close to B to have equal stresses in both the wires

(c) Mass m should be suspended at the middle of the wires to have equal stresses in both the wires

(d) Mass m should be suspended close to wire A to have equal strain in both wires

    This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    (b), (d) Let mass m is placed at x from the end B respectively.

    TA and TB be the tensions in wire A and wire B respectively.

    For the rotational equilibrium of the system,

    τ = 0

    TBx-TA(l-x)=0

    T B T A = l - x x

    Stress in wire A = SA= T A a A

    Stress in wire B = SB= T B a B  where a are the area of wire

    We know that aB=2aA

    Now for equal stress

    SA=SB

    T A a A = T B a B

    So

    T B T A = 2

    l - x x = 2

    So x =l/3 and l-x= 2l/3

    Hence mass m should placed to B.

    For equal strain

    StrainA= StrainB

    Y A S A = Y B S B

    Y s t e e l Y A l = T A T B × a B a A = x l - x 2 a A a A

    200 × 10 9 70 × 10 9 = x l - x

    After  solving we get x= x= 10l/17

    l-x=l=10l/17=7l/17

dm = (m/L)dx

Initially S? L = 2m
S? L = √2² + (3/2)²
S? L = 5/2 = 2.5 m
? x = S? L - S? L = 0.5 m
So since λ = 1 m. ∴? x = λ/2
So white listener moves away from S? Then? x (= S? L − S? L) increases and hence, at? x = λ first maxima will appear.? x = λ = S? L − S? L.

Loss in elastic potential energy = Gain in KE
½ (YA/L)x² = ½mv²
0.5 × (0.5×10? × 10? / 0.1) × (0.04)² = 20×10? ³ v²
0.5 × (5×10²) × 1.6×10? ³ = 20×10? ³ v²
0.4 = 20×10? ³ v²
v² = 20 => v = √20 ≈ 4.47 m/s
(Re-checking calculations)
0.5 * ( (0.5e9 * 1e-6) / 0.1) * (0.04)^2 = 0.5 * (5e2) * 1.6e-3 = 4.
0.5 * 20e-3 * v^2 = 10e-3 v^2
4 = 10e-3 v^2
v^2 = 400 => v = 20 m/s
