प्रश्न
A truck is pulling a car out of a ditch by means of a steel cable that is 9.1 m long and has a radius of 5 mm. When the car just begins to move, the tension in the cable is 800 N. How much has the cable stretched? (Young’s modulus for steel is 2 × 1011 Nm–2.)

उत्तर
According to the problem,
Length of steel cable l = 9.1 m
Radius r = 5 mm = 5 × 10–3 m
Tension in the cable F = 800 N
Young’s modulus for steel Y = 2 × 1011 N/m2
Change in length ∆L = ?
Young’s modulus If given by `Y = (F/A)/((∆L)/L)`
⇒ `∆L = (FL)/(Y(pir^2)`
`∆L = (800 xx 9.1)/((2 xx 10^11)(3.14 xx 25 xx 10^-6)) = 4.64 xx 10^-4 m`
⇒ ∆L = 5 × 10–4 m = 0.5 × 10–3 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.
