Read the following statements below carefully and state, with reasons, if it is true or false
The Young’s modulus of rubber is greater than that of steel;
Advertisements
उत्तर
False
For a given stress, the strain in rubber is more than it is in steel.
Young’s modulus, Y = Stress/Strain
For a constant stress: `Y prop 1/Strain`
Hence, Young’s modulus for rubber is less than it is for steel.

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.
