Question
A thick rope of rubber of density 1.5× 103 kg m3and Young’s modulus 5 × 106 N m2,  8m in length is hung from the ceiling of a room, the increase in  its length due to its own weight is
Options:
A .  9.6X 10−2 m
B .  19.2 × 10−2 m
C .  9.6× 10−3 m
D .  9.6 m
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×ll
l=mgl2AY=Alpgl2AY=gpl22Y
orl=9.8×1.5×103×822×5×106=9.6×102m
