The strain in a wire can be monitored and computed by measuring the resistance of the wire. Let Li represent the original length of the wire, Ai its original cross-sectional area, Ri = ρLi /Ai the original resistance between its ends, and δ = ΔL/Li = (L - Li )/Li the strain resulting from the application of tension. Assume the resistivity and the volume of the wire do not change as the wire stretches. (a) Show that the resistance between the ends of the wire under strain is given by R = Ri (1 + 2δ + δ2). (b) If the assumptions are precisely true, is this result exact or approximate? Explain your answer.
A metallic wire is stretched from original length of 1 m to 5 m. If the original cross-
sectional area is 2 square millimeters and original resistance is 8 ohms, determine the
new resistance (in ohms) of the metallic wire. Assume the volume of the wire is
preserved.
A metallic wire is stretched from original length of 1 m to 5 m. If the original cross-sectional area is 4 square millimeters and original resistance
is 7 ohms, determine the new resistance (in ohms) of the metallic wire. Assume the volume of the wire is preserved.
