उत्तर
A rigid bar of mass M is supported symmetrically by three wires each of length l. Those at each end are of copper and the middle one is of iron. The ratio of their diameters, if each is to have the same tension, is equal to `underline(sqrt((Y_(iron))/(Y_(copper))`.
Explanation:
As the bar is supported symmetrically by the three wires, therefore extension in each wire is the same.
Let T be the tension in each wire and the diameter of the wire is D, then Young’s modulus is `Y = "Stress"/"Strain"`
= `(F/A)/((ΔL)/L)`
= `F/A xx L/(ΔL)`
= `F/(pi(D/2)^2) xx L/(ΔL)`
= `(4FL)/(piD^2ΔL)`
⇒ `D^2 = (4FL)/(piΔLY)`
⇒ `D = sqrt((4FL)/(piΔLY)`
As F and `L/(ΔL)` are constants.
Hence, `D ∝ sqrt(1/Y)`
or `D = K/sqrt(Y)` ......(K is the proportionality constant)
Now, we can find ratio as `D_(copper)/D_(iron) = sqrt(Y_(iron)/Y_(copper)`

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.
