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

If μ  is Poisson’s ratio,

Y = 3K (1 - 2 μ )      ……… (1)

and Y = 2 n ( 1 + μ )  ……… (2)

With the help of equations (1) and (2), we can write

  3 Y = 1 η + 1 3 k K = η Y 9 η 3 Y

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.

0.4 = 20×10? ³ v²
v² = 20 => v = √20 ≈ 4.47 m/s
