Question
When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.76 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured and found to be l1 = 5.43 m. Determine Young’s Modulus Y in N/m2 for the steel cable if the weight has a mass m = 35 kg and the cable has a radius r = 0.025 m.

Answer:
Explanation:
The cross section area of the cable is
Let g = 9.81m/s2. The stress acting on the cable when mass is added is
The strain when the cable is stretched from 4.76 to 5.43 m is
So the young modulus of the cable is
Answer:1265841.097N/m^2
Explanation:LO = 4.76M
L1 = 5.43M, young’s modulus (Y) = ?
Mass (M) = 35kg, radius(R) = 0.025
Young’s modulus = tensile stress/tensile strain
But tensile stress = force(F)/area(A)
A = the area of the circle of the cable = πr^2
Weight of mass 35kg = force. Hence W = my = ma
g = 10m/s^2
Force = 35*10 = 350N
area = 3.142*0.025^2 = 3.142*0.000625 = 0.00196375m^2
Tensile stress = 350/0.00196375 = 178230.4265N/m^2
Tensile strain = extension/L0(original length)
Extension = L1 – L0 = 5.43-4.76 = 0.67m
Tensile strain = 0.67/4.76 = 0.1408
Hence young modulus = 178230.4265/0.1408 = 1265841.097N/m^2
