A boy’s catapult is made of rubber cord which is 42cm42cm long, with 6mm6mm diameter of cross-section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing 0.02kg0.02kg on it and stretches the cord by 20cm20cm by applying a constant force. When released, the stone flies off with a velocity of 20ms−120m{s}^{- 1} . Neglect the change in the area of cross-section of the cord while stretched. The Young’s modulus of rubber is closest to:

Options

  1. A106Nm−2{10}^{6}N{m}^{- 2}
  2. B104Nm−2{10}^{4}N{m}^{- 2}
  3. C108Nm−2{10}^{8}N{m}^{- 2}
  4. D103Nm−2{10}^{3}N{m}^{- 2}

Correct answer

A. 106Nm−2{10}^{6}N{m}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

Elastic potential energy =12.Y.(∆lL)2AL= \dfrac{1}{2} . Y . {\left(\dfrac{∆ l}{L}\right)}^{2}AL
=12Y.(0.20.42)2.= \dfrac{1}{2}Y . {\left(\dfrac{0.2}{0.42}\right)}^{2} .\left(\pi \times {3}^{2} \times {10}^{- 6} \times 0.42\right)<br/><br/>= \left(1.35 \times {10}^{- 6}\right)Y<br/>Kineticenergy<br/>Kinetic energy= \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( 0.02 \times {\left(20\right)}^{2} )<br/>(1.35×10−6)Y=4<br/>\left(1.35 \times {10}^{- 6}\right)Y = 4
Y=3×106Nm−2Y = 3 \times {10}^{6}N{m}^{- 2}
