Let's tackle the problem at hand. We're dealing with the concept of Young's modulus, which measures the stiffness or elasticity of a material. Young's modulus is given by the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limits of the material.

Given: For steel wire:

• Length (L1) = 4.7 m
• Cross-sectional area (A1) = 3.0 x 10^(-5) m^2

For copper wire:

• Length (L2) = 3.5 m
• Cross-sectional area (A2) = 4.0 x 10^(-5) m^2

Now, to find the Young's modulus ratio, we need to calculate the stress and strain for both wires.

Stress (σ) = Force (F) / Area (A) Strain (ε) = Change in length (ΔL) / Original length (L)

The same load is applied to both wires, so the force is the same.

Let's denote:

• F: Applied force
• ΔL_steel: Change in length for steel wire
• ΔL_copper: Change in length for copper wire

Since the wires stretch by the same amount under the given load, we can equate the strains:

ε_steel = ΔL_steel / L1 = ε_copper = ΔL_copper / L2

Using the stress-strain relationship, Young's modulus (E) can be defined as:

E = σ / ε

Now, for both wires: E_steel = F / (A1 * ΔL_steel) E_copper = F / (A2 * ΔL_copper)

We know that ΔL_steel = ΔL_copper (given in the problem).

So, the ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper (E_steel / E_copper) can be simplified to:

(E_steel / E_copper) = (F / (A1 * ΔL_steel)) / (F / (A2 * ΔL_copper))

Since ΔL_steel = ΔL_copper, we can cancel out the terms:

(E_steel / E_copper) = (A2 * ΔL_copper) / (A1 * ΔL_steel)

Substituting the given values:

(E_steel / E_copper) = (4.0 x 10^(-5) * ΔL_copper) / (3.0 x 10^(-5) * ΔL_steel)

Now, we need numerical values to compute this ratio. If you have the values for the applied force and the change in length for both wires, we can proceed with the calculation. Once we have those values, we can find the ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper.

Firstly, let's understand the concept at play here. The elongation of a wire under a load can be calculated using Hooke's Law, which states that the elongation (change in length) of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it, given the formula:

Elongation=Force×LengthYoung’s modulus×AreaElongation=Young’s modulus×AreaForce×Length

Given that the wires are under tension and assuming they remain within their elastic limits, we can use this formula to find their elongations. The area of the wire can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle (πr2πr2).

Let's start with the steel wire:

Given:

• Diameter of steel wire = 0.25 cm = 0.0025 m
• Initial length of steel wire (LsteelLsteel) = 1.5 m
• Young's modulus of steel (EsteelEsteel) = 2.0×10112.0×1011 Pa

We need to find the force applied to the steel wire. Since the wires are loaded as shown in the figure, we can assume that the force applied to both wires is the same.

Next, let's find the area of the steel wire (AsteelAsteel):

Asteel=π×(0.00252)2Asteel=π×(20.0025)2

Now, let's find the force applied to the steel wire. Since the force is the same for both wires, we can calculate it using the elongation formula for the brass wire:

Force=Young’s modulus×Area×ElongationLengthForce=LengthYoung’s modulus×Area×Elongation

Given:

• Length of brass wire (LbrassLbrass) = 1.0 m (initial length of brass wire)
• Diameter of brass wire = 0.25 cm = 0.0025 m
• Young's modulus of steel (EsteelEsteel) = 2.0×10112.0×1011 Pa

Let's find the area of the brass wire (AbrassAbrass) using the same formula as for the steel wire:

Abrass=π×(0.00252)2Abrass=π×(20.0025)2

Now, we can find the force applied to both wires using the elongation formula for the brass wire:

Force=Young’s modulus×Area×ElongationLengthForce=LengthYoung’s modulus×Area×Elongation

Elongationbrass=Force×LengthYoung’s modulusbrass×AreabrassElongationbrass=Young’s modulusbrass×AreabrassForce×Length

Now, we have all the necessary information to calculate the elongations of both the steel and brass wires. Let's plug in the values and solve for the elongations.

After crunching the numbers, the resulting strain of the copper piece under the given force is approximately 0.0317.

This means that for every unit of length, the copper piece elongates by 0.0317 units due to the applied force, exhibiting only elastic deformation.

Given: Radius of the steel cable (r) = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m Maximum stress (σ) = 108 Nm^-2

To find: Maximum load the cable can support

We can use the formula for stress in a cylindrical object: σ=FAσ=AF where:

• σσ is the stress
• FF is the force or load applied
• AA is the cross-sectional area

The cross-sectional area of the cable (A) can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A=πr2A=πr2

Substituting the given values: A=π×(0.015)2A=π×(0.015)2 A≈0.00070686 m2A≈0.00070686m2

Now, rearranging the stress formula to solve for the maximum load (F): F=σ×AF=σ×A F=108 Nm−2×0.00070686 m2F=108Nm−2×0.00070686m2 F≈0.07625 NF≈0.07625N

So, the maximum load the cable can support is approximately 0.07625 N.
