Chapter Test: Elasticity (Mechanical Properties of Solids) - 1 - Question 26

A steel rod 2.0 m long has a cross-sectional area of 0.30 cm2 . It is hung by one end from a support, and a 550-kg milling machine is hung from its other end. Determine the resulting strain. Young's Modulus of Steel (Y) = 20×1010 Pa

Detailed Solution: Question 26

Stress = F⟂/A = (Mass x Acceleration⟂)/Cross-sectional Area

= (550 kg x 9.8 m/s2)/ (0.30×10−4 m2)

= 1.8×108 Pa

Young's ModulusSteel (Y) = 20×1010 Pa = Stress/Strain

=> Strain = Stress/Y = 1.8×108 Pa / 20×1010 Pa

= 9.0×10−4 

Chapter Test: Elasticity (Mechanical Properties of Solids) - 1 - Question 27

A piece of copper having a rectangular cross-section of 15.2 mm × 19.1 mm is pulled in tension with 44,500 N force, producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain? Take Young's modulus of copper as 42 × 109Pa

Detailed Solution: Question 27

Given Data,
Length of the piece of copper = l = 19.1 mm = 19.1 × 10-3m
Breadth of the piece of copper = b = 15.2 mm = 15.2× 10-3m
Tension force applied on the piece of cooper, F = 44500N
Area of rectangular cross section of copper piece,
Area = l× b
⇒ Area = (19.1 × 10-3m) × (15.2× 10-3m)
⇒ Area = 2.9 × 10-4 m2
Modulus of elasticity of copper from standard list, η = 42× 109 N/m2
By definition, Modulus of elasticity, η = stress/strain

⇒ Strain = F/Aη

⇒ Strain = 3.65 × 10-3
Hence, the resulting strain is 3.65 × 10-3

Chapter Test: Elasticity (Mechanical Properties of Solids) - 1 - Question 28

What diameter should a 10-m-long steel wire have if we do not want it to stretch more than 0.5 cm under a tension of 940 N? Take Young's modulus of steel as 20 × 1010 Pa

Detailed Solution: Question 28

Option C is correct.

ΔL = (F × L) / (A × Y)

A = (F × L) / (ΔL × Y)

Substitute values: A = (940 × 10) / (0.005 × 2 × 1011)

0.005 × 2 × 1011 = 1 × 109

A = 9400 / 1 × 109 = 9.4 × 10-6 m2

A = π × (d/2)2

d = 2 × √(A/π)

Substitute A: d = 2 × √(9.4 × 10-6 / π)

d ≈ 0.00346 m = 3.46 mm

The closest option is 3.4 mm (Option C).

Chapter Test: Elasticity (Mechanical Properties of Solids) - 1 - Question 29

Elasticity is the property of a body, by virtue of which

Detailed Solution: Question 29

Explanation:When external force is applied on the solid bodies, the solid bodies get deformed. The atoms or molecules are displaced from their equilibrium positions causing a change in the interatomic ( or intermolicular ) distances. When the deforming foce is removed, the interatomic forces tend to drive them back to their original postions. Thus the body regains its original shape and size.

Chapter Test: Elasticity (Mechanical Properties of Solids) - 1 - Question 30

Elastomers are materials

Detailed Solution: Question 30

An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (i. e., both viscosity and elasticity) and very weak intermolecular forces, and generally low Young's modulus and high failure strain compared with other materials. Elastomer rubber compounds are made from five to ten ingredients, each ingredient playing a specific role. Polymer is the main component, and determines heat and chemical resistance, as well as low- temperature performance. Reinforcing filler is used, typically carbon black, for strength properties.
