for safety in climbing, a mountaineer uses a nylon rope that is 65 m long and 1.2 cm in diameter. when supporting a(n) 80-kg climbs, the rope elongates 1.4 m. find its young's modulus.

Respuesta :

The young's modulus is E = 1.4938211 × [tex]10^5 N/m^2[/tex]

How to calculate the young's modulus when stress and strain value is not given ?

The length of the rope is, L = 65 m.

The diameter of the rope is, d = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m.

The mass of climber is, m = 80 kg.

Given elongation of rope = Δ L = 1.4 m

Young's Modulus of Material is the product of the ratio of stress to strain produced in a material. Then,

E  = σ /ε

E = W / A / L/ ΔL

E = ( mg × Δ L ) ÷ (π/4 × d² ×L )

On substituting the values we get ;

( take g = 9.8 m/s^2)

E = 1097.6 / 0.0073476

E = 149,382.11 [tex]N/m^2[/tex]

E = 1.4938211 × [tex]10^5 N/m^2[/tex]
