प्रश्न
A 14.5 kg mass, fastened to the end of a steel wire of unstretched length 1.0 m, is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of 2 rev/s at the bottom of the circle. The cross-sectional area of the wire is 0.065 cm2. Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.

उत्तर १
Mass, m = 14.5 kg
Length of the steel wire, l = 1.0 m
Angular velocity, ω = 2 rev/s = 2 × 2π rad/s = 12.56 rad/s
Cross-sectional area of the wire, a = 0.065 cm2 = 0.065 × 10-4 m2
Let Δl be the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.
When the mass is placed at the position of the vertical circle, the total force on the mass is:
F = mg + mlω2
= 14.5 × 9.8 + 14.5 × 1 × (12.56)2
= 2429.53 N
Young's modulus = Stress/Strain
`Y = (F/A)/trianglel = F/A l/trianglel`
`:.trianglel = (Fl)/(AY)`
Young’s modulus for steel = 2 × 1011 Pa
`trianglel = (2429.53xx1)/(0.065xx10^(-4)xx2xx10^11)`
`=>trianglel = 1.87 xx 10^(-3) m`
Hence, the elongation of the wire is 1.87 × 10–3 m.
उत्तर २
Here, m = 14.5 kg; l = r = 1 m; v = 2 rps; A = 0.065 x 10-4 m2 Total pulling force on mass, when it is at the lowest position of the vertical circle is F = mg + mr w2 = mg + mr 4,π2 v2
`=14.5 xx 9.8 + 14.5 xx 1 xx 4 xx (22/7)^2 xx 2^2`
=142.1 + 2291.6 = 2433.9 N
`Y = F/A xx l/(trianglel)`
or `trianglel = (Fl)/(AY)= (2433.7xx1)/(0.065 xx 10^(-4)xx(2xx10^11)) = 1.87 xx 10^(-3) m = 1.87 m`

In nature, the failure of structural members usually result from large torque because of twisting or bending rather than due to tensile or compressive strains. This process of structural breakdown is called buckling and in cases of tall cylindrical structures like trees, the torque is caused by its own weight bending the structure. Thus the vertical through the centre of gravity does not fall within the base. The elastic torque caused because of this bending about the central axis of the tree is given by `(Ypir^4)/(4R) . Y` is the Young’s modulus, r is the radius of the trunk and R is the radius of curvature of the bent surface along the height of the tree containing the centre of gravity (the neutral surface). Estimate the critical height of a tree for a given radius of the trunk.
