A steel wire of mass µ per unit length with a circular cross section has a radius of 0.1 cm. The wire is of length 10 m when measured lying horizontal, and hangs from a hook on the wall. A mass of 25 kg is hung from the free end of the wire. Assuming the wire to be uniform and lateral strains << longitudinal strains, find the extension in the length of the wire. The density of steel is 7860 kg m–3 (Young's modules Y=2*1011 Nm–2). (b) If the yield strength of steel is 2.5*108 Nm–2, what is the maximum weight that can be hung at the lower end of the wire?

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

When a small element of length dx is considered at x from the load x=0

(a) letT(x) and T(x+dx) are tensions on the two cross sections a distance dx apart then

T(x+dx)+T(x)=dmg= μ dxg

dT= μ gx+C

at x=0 T(0)=mg

C=mg

T(x)= μ gx+Mg

Let length dx

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.
1 = d - 2 ⇒ d = 3 m.

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.
