In order to determine the Young's Modulus of a wire of radius $0.2 \, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 0.001 \, cm$) and length $1 \, m$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 1 \, mm$),a weight of mass $1 \, kg$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 1 \, g$) was hanged to get the elongation of $0.5 \, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 0.001 \, cm$). What will be the fractional error in the value of Young's Modulus determined by this experiment? (in $\%$)

  • A

$A$ string of cross-sectional area $4 \times 10^{-6} \, m^{2}$ and length $0.5 \, m$ is connected to a rigid body of mass $2 \, kg$. The body is rotated in a vertical circular path of radius $0.5 \, m$. The body acquires a speed of $5 \, m/s$ at the bottom of the circular path. The strain produced in the string when the body is at the bottom of the circle is $\dots \times 10^{-5}$. (Use Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11} \, N/m^{2}$ and $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$)

$A$ metal wire of length $0.5\; m$ and cross-sectional area $10^{-4}\; m^{2}$ has a breaking stress of $5 \times 10^{8}\; N/m^{2}$. $A$ block of mass $10\; kg$ is attached to one end of the wire and is rotated in a horizontal circle. The maximum linear velocity of the block will be $v\; m/s$. Find $v$.

Two strips of metal are riveted together at their ends by four rivets,each of diameter $6.0\; mm$. What is the maximum tension that can be exerted by the riveted strip if the shearing stress on the rivet is not to exceed $6.9 \times 10^{7}\; Pa$? Assume that each rivet is to carry one quarter of the load.
