A 3mathrm~m long wire of radius 3mathrm~mm shows an extension of 0.1mathrm~mm when loaded vertically by a mass of 50mathrm~kg in an experiment to determine Young's modulus. The value of Young's modulus of the wire as per this experiment is P times 10^11mathrm~Ncdotmathrmm^-2, where the value of P is: (Take g = 3pimathrm~m/s^2)

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Y = fractextStresstextStrain = fracF / ADelta L / L = fracmg Lpi r^2 Delta L where, Y = Young's modulus F = mg = stretching force (load) A = pi r^2 = cross-sectional area of the wire L = original length of the wire Delta L = extension produced ### Core Logic Given parameters: - Original length of wire, L = 3mathrm~m - Radius of wire, r = 3mathrm~mm = 3 times 10^-3mathrm~m - Mass loaded, m = 50mathrm~kg - Acceleration due to gravity, g = 3pimathrm~m/s^2 - Extension, Delta L = 0.1mathrm~mm = 10^-4mathrm~m Substitute the values into the Young's modulus formula: Y = frac50 times (3pi) times 3pi times (3 times 10^-3)^2 times 10^-4 ### Step 1: Detailed Computation Simplify the equation: Y = frac450pipi times 9 times 10^-6 times 10^-4 Cancelling pi from numerator and denominator: Y = frac4509 times 10^-10 = 50 times 10^10 = 5 times 10^11mathrm~N/m^2 Comparing this with P times 10^11mathrm~N/m^2: P = 5 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Standard Young's modulus measurement. Trap: Don't forget that the radius is in millimeters and the extension is in millimeters. Convert all units to SI systematically first. Calculation Tip: The variable g = 3pi is chosen deliberately to cancel the pi in the area formula.
