- In Example 14.3, we found that one of the steel cables supporting an airplane at the Udvar-Hazy Center was under a tension of 9.30 103 N. Assume the cable has a diameter of 2.30 era and an initial length of 8.00 m before the plane is suspended on the cable. How much longer is the cable when the plane is suspended on it?arrow_forwardA suspender rod of a suspension bridge is 25.0 m long. If the rod is made of steel, what must its diameter be so that it does not stretch more than 1.0 cm when a 2.5104kg tuck passes by it? Assume that the rod supports all of the weight of the truck.arrow_forwardTwo rods, one made of copper and the other of steel, have the same dimensions. If the copper rod stretches by 0.15mm under some stress, how much does the steel rod stretch under the same stress?arrow_forward
- A copper wire is 1.0 m long and it diameter is 1.0 mm. if the wire hangs vertically how much weight must be added to its free end in order to stretch it 3.0mm?arrow_forwardReview the relationship between stress and strain. Can you find any similarities between the two quantities?arrow_forwardCan compress stress be applied to a rubber band?arrow_forward
- When the structure shown below is supported at point P, it is in equilibrium. Find the magnitude .of force F and the force applied at P. the weight of the structure is negligible.arrow_forwardAn aluminium (=2.7g/cm3) wire is suspended from the ceiling and hangs vertically. How long must the wire be before the stress at its upper end reaches the proportionality limit, which is 8.0107N/m2 ?arrow_forwardA 100-N weight is attached to a free end of a metallic wire that hangs from the ceiling. When a second 100-N weight is added to the wire, it stretches 3.0 mm. The diameter and the length of the wire are 1.0 mm and2.0 m, respectively. What is Young’s modulus of the metal used to manufacture the wire?arrow_forward
- The compressivestrength of our bones is important in everyday life. Young’s modulus forbone is about 1.4 * 10^10 Pa. Bone can take only about a 1.0% changein its length before fracturing. (a) What is the maximum force that canbe applied to a bone whose minimum cross-sectional area is 3.0 cm2?(This is approximately the cross-sectional area of a tibia, or shin bone,at its narrowest point.) (b) Estimate the maximum height from which a70 kg man could jump and not fracture his tibia. Take the time betweenwhen he first touches the floor and when he has stopped to be 0.030 s,and assume that the stress on his two legs is distributed equally.arrow_forwardA cable used to lift heavy materials like steel I-beams must be strong enough to resist breaking even under a load of 1.7 106 N. For safety, the cable must support twice that load. (a) What cross-sectional area should the cable have if it's to be made of steel? (b) By how much will a 7.0-m length of this cable stretch when subject to the 1.7 106-N load?arrow_forwardIf the same force F pulls on two cylindrical rods of the same material, which has a greater change in length: a rod of radius 2r and length L, or a rod of radius 4r and length 5L? Select one: the rod of radius 4r and length 5L not enough informationg given. it depends if the force is tensile or compressive. the rod of radius 2r and length L both rods have the same change in length.arrow_forward
