EXAMPLE 7.1

Within the elastic limit, the stretching strain produced in wires A, B, and C due to stress is shown in the figure. Assume the load applied are the same and discuss the elastic property of the material.


Write  down  the  elastic  modulus  in ascending order.

Solution

Here, the elastic modulus is Young modulus and due to stretching, stress is tensile stress and strain is tensile strain.

Within the elastic limit, stress is proportional to strain (obey Hooke’s law). Therefore, it shows a straight line behavior. So, the modulus of elasticity (here, Young modulus) can be computed by taking slope from this straight line. Hence, calculating the slope for the straight line, we get

Slope of A > Slope of B > Slope of C

Which implies,

Young modulus of C < Young modulus of B < Young modulus of A

Notice that larger the slope, lesser the strain (fractional change in length). So, the material is much stiffer. Hence, the elasticity of wire A is greater than wire B which is greater than C. From this example, we have understood that Young’s modulus measures the resistance of solid to a change in its length.

 

EXAMPLE 7.2

A wire 10 m long has a cross-sectional area 1.25 x 10-4 m2. It is subjected to a load of 5 kg. If Young’s modulus of the material is 4 x 1010 N m-2, calculate the elongation produced in the wire.

Solution

Here, L = 0.20 m, F = 4000 N, x = 0.50 cm

= 0.005 m and Area A = L2 = 0.04 m2

Therefore, Shear modulus

EXAMPLE 7.7

Two pistons of a hydraulic lift have diameters of 60 cm and 5 cm. What is the force exerted by the larger piston when 50 N is placed on the smaller piston?

Solution

Since, the diameter of the pistons are given, we can calculate the radius of the piston

EXAMPLE 7.8

A cube of wood floating in water supports a 300 g mass at the centre of its top face. When the mass is removed, the cube rises by 3 cm. Determine the volume of the cube.

Solution

Let each side of the cube be l. The volume occupied by 3 cm depth of cube,

V=(3cm) × l2 = 3l2cm

According to the principle of floatation, we have

Vρg = mg  Vρ = m

ρ is density of water = 1000 kg m-3

(3l2 × 10-2m) × (1000 kgm-3)=300 × 10-3 kg


l = 10 × 10-2m = 10 cm

Therefore, volume of cube V = l3 = 1000 cm3

Given: A=2.5×10-4 m2dx = 0.25×10-3mF=2.5and dv = 3×10-2 m s-1

EXAMPLE 7.10

Let 2 .4×104 J of work is done to increase the area of a film of soap bubble from 50 cm2 to 100 cm2. Calculate the value of surface tension of soap solution.

Solution:

A soap bubble has two free surfaces, therefore increase in surface area ∆A = A2A1 = 2(100-50) × 10-4m2 = 100 × 10-4m2.

Since, work done W = T ×ΔA T =

Numerical Problems


1. A capillary of diameter dmm is dipped in water such that the water rises to a height of 30mm. If the radius of the capillary is made (2/3) of its previous value, then compute the height up to which water will rise in the new capillary?

Diameter = 4 cm; Tangential force F - 4 × 105N

Rigidity modulus η = 6 × 1010 Nm-2

Twist produced θ = ?


θ = 0.053 × 10-1 = 53 × 10-4

(Answer: 45.60)


3. A spherical soap bubble A of radius 2 cm is formed inside another bubble B of radius 4 cm. Show that the radius of a single soap bubble which maintains the same pressure difference as inside the smaller and outside the larger soap bubble is lesser than radius of both soap bubbles A and B.

Solution

Excess pressure create with S.T of spherical surface of the liquid = ΔP = 2T/R

T - surface tension

In case of soap bubbles,

The excess pressure of air inside them is double due to the presence of two interfaces are inside and one outside.


Excess pressure of air inside the bigger bubble


Excess pressure of air inside the smaller bubble 4s 4T


Air pressure difference between the smaller bubble and the atmosphere will be equal toll sum of excess pressure inside the bigger smaller bubbles.

Pressure different ΔP = ΔPb + ΔPs

= T + 2T = 3T

Excess pressure inside a single soap bubble = 4T/R = 4T/4 = T

Pressure difference of single soap bubble less than radius of both T < 3T

Soltion

Relative density of liquid ρliquid = 0.72

Relative density of Ag ρAg = 10

Mass of the Ag block = ?

Tension in the string T = 37.12 N

Apparent weight Wapp = pAg - pliquid

= 10-0.72 = 9.28

= TAg g

m = 37.12 / 9.28 = 4

Mass x = 4 kg

(Answer: x = 4 kg)
