Vedclass · Answer

(B) The potential energy stored in the stretched rubber cord is converted into the kinetic energy of the stone.The energy stored in the stretched cord is given by $U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes Y 	imes A 	imes \ell 	imes \left( \frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} ight)^2$,where $Y$ is Young's modulus,$A$ is the cross-sectional area,$\ell$ is the original length,and $\Delta \ell$ is the extension.Given: $\ell = 0.42\, m$,$r = 3\, mm = 3 	imes 10^{-3}\, m$,$\Delta \ell = 0.20\, m$,$m = 0.02\, kg$,$v = 20\, m/s$.Area $A = \pi r^2 = \pi 	imes (3 	imes 10^{-3})^2 = 9\pi 	imes 10^{-6}\, m^2$.Equating energy: $\frac{1}{2} 	imes Y 	imes (9\pi 	imes 10^{-6}) 	imes 0.42 	imes \left( \frac{0.20}{0.42} ight)^2 = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 0.02 	imes (20)^2$.$Y 	imes (9\pi 	imes 10^{-6}) 	imes 0.42 	imes \frac{0.04}{0.1764} = 0.02 	imes 400 = 8$.$Y 	imes (9 	imes 3.14 	imes 10^{-6}) 	imes 0.42 	imes 0.2267 = 8$.$Y \approx 3 	imes 10^6\, N/m^2$.

$A$ brass rod of cross-sectional area $1 \, cm^2$ and length $0.2 \, m$ is compressed lengthwise by a weight of $5 \, kg$. If Young's modulus of elasticity of brass is $1 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$ and $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,then the increase in the energy of the rod will be:

The work done in increasing the length of a $1 \ m$ long wire of cross-section area $1 \ mm^2$ by $1 \ mm$ will be ....... $J$ $(Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2})$

When a $8 \,m$ long wire is stretched by a load of $10 \,kg-wt$, it is elongated by $1.5 \,mm$. The energy stored in the wire in this process is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,J$)

If the work done in stretching a wire by $1 \ mm$ is $2 \ J$,the work necessary for stretching another wire of the same material but with double the radius of cross-section and half the length by $1 \ mm$ is:

Two wires having the same length and material are stretched by the same force. Their diameters are in the ratio $1:3$. The ratio of strain energy per unit volume for these two wires (smaller to larger diameter),when stretched,is (in $:1$)
