Question
A thick rope of rubber of density 1.5× 103 kg m−3and Young’s modulus 5 × 106 N m−2, 8m in length is hung from the ceiling of a room, the increase in its length due to its own weight is
Answer: Option A
:
A
If A is the area of cross section, d be the density of material and l is lengthof rope
then mass of ropem=Ald
As the weight of the rope acts onthe mid point of the rope
Y=mgA×l△l
△l=mgl2AY=Alpgl2AY=gpl22Y
or△l=9.8×1.5×103×822×5×106=9.6×10−2m
