Step-by-step solution
5 stepslet's continue with the calculations.
Given:
- Length of copper wire () = 1.5 m
- Length of steel wire () = 1.5 m
- Diameter () = 2.0 mm = m
- Load () = 200 N
- Young's Modulus for Copper () =
- Young's Modulus for Steel () =
1. Calculate the stress in each wire.
Calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire.
The diameter of the wire is .
The radius is .Calculate the stress in each wire.
Since the wires are joined end-to-end and the same load is applied, the stress in each wire is the same.
Stress () = Force () / Area ()The stress in each wire is .
2. Calculate the total extension of the composite wire.
Calculate the extension of the copper wire ().
Young's Modulus () = Stress () / Strain ()
Strain () = Extension () / Original Length ()
So, .
Rearranging for extension: .For copper wire:
Calculate the extension of the steel wire ().
For steel wire:
Calculate the total extension ().
The total extension of the composite wire is .
