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

A steel rod of length $1m$ and radius $10mm$ is stretched by a force $100kN$ along its length. The stress produced in the rod is then
 $\left( { Y } _{ steel }=2\times { 10 }^{ 11 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 } \right) $

  1. $3.18\times { 10 }^{ 6 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 }$

  2. $3.18\times { 10 }^{ 7 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 }\quad $

  3. $3.18\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 }$

  4. $3.18\times { 10 }^{ 9 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 }\quad $

C Correct answer
Explanation

Here $r=10mm=10\times { 10 }^{ -3 }m={ 10 }^{ -2 }m$
$L=1m,F=100kN=100\times { 10 }^{ 3 }N={ 10 }^{ 5 }N$

Stress produced in the rod is:
$Stress=\cfrac { F }{ A } =\cfrac { F }{ \pi { r }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { 100\times { 10 }^{ 3 }N }{ 3.14\times { \left( { 10 }^{ -2 }m \right)  }^{ 2 } } =3.18\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 }\quad $

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

One end of a uniform wire of length L and of weight W is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and
a weight $W _{1}$ is suspended from its lower end. If S is the are of cross-section of the wire, the stress in
the wire at a height (3 L /4) from its lower end is :

  1. $W _{1}/S$

  2. $[W _{1}+(W/4)]/S$

  3. $[W _{1}+(3W/4)]/S$

  4. $W _{1}+(W)/S$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The stress at a point is the total force below that point divided by the area. The weight of the wire below the point at 3L/4 from the bottom is (3/4)W. The total force is W1 + (3/4)W. Stress = (W1 + 3W/4) / S.

Multiple choice elastic energy properties of material substances elasticity properties of matter physics

The elastic energy stored per unit volume in a stretched wire is

  1. $\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { { \left( stress \right) }^{ } }{ Y } $

  2. $\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { { \left( stress \right) }^{ 2 } }{ Y } $

  3. $\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { { \left( stress \right) }^{ 2 } }{ { Y }^{ 2 } } $

  4. $\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { { \left( stress \right) }^{ } }{ { Y }^{ 2 } } $

B Correct answer
Explanation

The elastic energy stored per unit volume in a stretched wire is
$u=\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \times stress\times strain=\dfrac { { (stress) }^{ 2 } }{ 2Y } \left( \because Y=\cfrac { stress }{ strain }  \right) $ 

Multiple choice elastic energy properties of material substances elasticity properties of matter physics

If S is stress and Y is Young's modulus of the material of a wire, the energy stored in the wire per unit volume is:

  1. $\frac{S}{2Y}$

  2. $\frac{2Y}{S^2}$

  3. $\frac{S^2}{2Y}$

  4. $2S^2Y$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Energy stored per unit volume can be given as: 
 $E  =\dfrac{1}{2} \times stress \times strain $ -----------(1)      
From Hooke's law :
Young's modulus, $Y = \dfrac{Stress}{Strain}$

$\implies$    $Strain   = \dfrac{Stress}{Y}   = \dfrac{S}{Y}$ -----------(2)  
  
From equation (1) and (2): 
$\therefore$    $E = \dfrac{1}{2} \times S \times \dfrac{S}{Y} $

$\Rightarrow E=  \dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{S^2}{Y}$
Hence, the correct option is $(C)$

Multiple choice elastic energy properties of material substances elasticity properties of matter physics

Two wires of different material but of same radius and different length are stretched by the loads in the ratio 1:3, the ratio of the stresses in the material will be same

  1. 3:1

  2. 2:3

  3. 3:2

  4. 1:3

D Correct answer
Explanation

The stress is directly proportional to the force applied and the inversely proportional to area of cross section. Thus as force ratio is 1:3, the stress ratio will also be 1:3

The correct option is (d)

The total strain energy stored in a body is known as 

  1. Resilience

  2. Toughness

  3. Modulus of resilience

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The strain energy is released when the object is unloaded, which is nothing but resilience

Resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when deformed, and release that energy upon unloading

The correct option is (a)
