A steel rod has a radius of 20mm20mm and a length of 2.0m.2 . 0m . A force of 62.8kN62 . 8kN stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of steel is 2.0×1011Nm−22 . 0 \times {10}^{11}N{m}^{- 2}. The longitudinal strain produced in the wire is _________ \times {10}^{- 5}.

Correct answer

25

Step-by-step solution

Young's modulus is given as

Y=StressStrain=FA∆LLY =\dfrac{Stress}{Strain}= \dfrac{\dfrac{F}{A}}{\dfrac{∆ L}{L}}

The given data is~

Stress=62.8kN= 62 . 8kN

r=20×10−3mr = 20 \times {10}^{- 3}m

Y=2×1011Nm−2Y = 2 \times {10}^{11}Nm^{- 2}

Thus,

Strain = \dfrac{F}{A \times Y} ⇒ \dfrac{∆ L}{L} = \dfrac{62 . 8 \times {10}^{3}N}{\pi \times \left(20 \times {10}^{- 3}m\right)2 \times \left(2 \times {10}^{11}Nm^{- 2}\right)} = 25 \times {10}^{- 5}N
