Multiple choice forces on solids elastic and plastic substances forces and matter properties of matter physics

Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are $0.2\% $ and $0.002\%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire is $\left( {Y = 2.0 \times {{10}^{11}}N{m^{ - 2}}} \right)$

  1. $3.2 \times {10^9}N{m^{ - 2}}$

  2. $3.2 \times {10^7}N{m^{ - 2}}$

  3. $3.6 \times {10^9}N{m^{ - 2}}$

  4. $3.6 \times {10^7}N{m^{ - 2}}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Volumetric strain = deltaV/V = 0.002. Longitudinal strain = deltaL/L. Using the relation deltaV/V = (1 - 2*nu) * longitudinal_strain and the radial strain relation, one can find the longitudinal strain. Given the values, the calculation leads to 3.6 * 10^9 N/m^2.

A steel wire has an ultimate strength of above $2.0 \times 10 ^ { 7 } \mathrm { kg } - \mathrm { w } \mathrm { J } / \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }$ . How large a load can a
0.7$\mathrm { cm }$ in diameter steel wire hold before breaking?

  1. $700 \mathrm { kg } - \mathrm { wt }$

  2. $770 \mathrm { kg } - \mathrm { wt }$

  3. $300 \mathrm { kg } - \mathrm { wt }$

  4. None

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Stress = Force / Area. Area = pi * r^2 = 3.14 * (0.0035 m)^2. Force = Stress * Area. Using the given ultimate strength, the load is approximately 700 kg-wt.

Multiple choice forces on solids elastic and plastic substances forces and matter properties of matter physics

If equal and opposite forces applied to a body tend to elongate it, the stress so produced is called

  1. Tensile stress

  2. Compressive stress

  3. Tangential stress

  4. Working stress

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Tensile stress occurs when equal and opposite forces act to pull or elongate a body. Compressive stress occurs when forces act to shorten a body.

A copper wire of $1mm$ diameter is stretched by applying a force on $10N$. Find the stress in the wire.

  1. $1.273\times 10^7N/m^2$

  2. $1.373\times 10^7N/m^2$

  3. $1.473\times 10^7N/m^2$

  4. $1.573\times 10^7N/m^2$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Stress = Force / Area. Area = pi * (d/2)^2 = 3.14 * (0.0005)^2 = 7.85 * 10^-7 m^2. Stress = 10 / 7.85 * 10^-7 = 1.273 * 10^7 N/m^2.

Multiple choice forces on solids elastic and plastic substances forces and matter properties of matter physics

When the inter molecular distance increases due to tensile force, then 

  1. There is no force between the molecules

  2. There is a repulsive force between the molecules

  3. There is an attractive force between the molecules

  4. There is zero resultant force between the molecules

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Intermolecular forces are attractive at larger distances and repulsive at very short distances. When a tensile force increases the distance, the molecules are pulled apart, and the intermolecular force acts to restore the equilibrium, which is an attractive force.

A bar of cross-section A is subjected to equal and opposite tensile forces at its ends. Consider a plane section of the bar whose normal makes an angle $\theta$ with the axis of the bar.
For what value of $\theta$ is the tensile stress maximum?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. cant say

  4. 90

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Tensile stress$=\cfrac { force }{ area } =\cfrac { F\cos { \theta  }  }{ A\sec { \theta  }  } $
$=\cfrac { F }{ A } \cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta  } $
Tensile strength will be maximum when $\cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta  } $ is maximum i.e., $\cos { \theta  } =1$ or $\theta =0°$

Explanation

$k=\dfrac{EA}{L}$

$k _1=\dfrac{EA _1}{L _1}$,$k _2=\dfrac{EA _2}{L _2}$,$k _3=\dfrac{EA _3}{L _3}$
$k _1=E\times \dfrac{40}{300} \times 10^{-3}$
$k _2=E\times \dfrac{30}{200} \times 10^{-3}$
$k _3=E\times \dfrac{20}{500} \times 10^{-3}$
$k _1=\dfrac{4E}{3} \times 10^{-4}$
$k _1=\dfrac{3E}{3} \times 10^{-4}$
$k _1=\dfrac{2E}{3} \times 10^{-4}$
$k _1,k _2,k _3$ are in series.
$\dfrac{1}{k _{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{k _1}+\dfrac{1}{k _2}+\dfrac{1}{k _3}$
$=\dfrac{3\times 10^4}{4E}$+$\dfrac{2\times 10^4}{3E}$+$\dfrac{5\times 10^4}{2E}$
$=\dfrac{10^4}{E}(\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{2})$
$=\dfrac{10^4}{E} \times \dfrac{47}{12}$
$k _{eq}=\dfrac{12E}{47} \times 10^{-4}$
$F=1000N$
$1000=\dfrac{12E}{47}\times 10^{-4} \Delta l$
$\Delta l=\dfrac{1000 \times 47}{12E}\times 10^4$
$\Delta l=\dfrac{1000\times 47 \times 10^4}{12\times 200 \times 10^9}$
$=19.6\times 10^{-5}$
$=0.196 mm$
