प्रश्न
A steel wire of length 4.7 m and cross-sectional area 3.0 × 10–5 m2 stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length 3.5 m and cross-sectional area of 4.0 × 10–5 m2 under a given load. What is the ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper?
उत्तर १
Length of the steel wire, L1 = 4.7 m
Area of cross-section of the steel wire, A1 = 3.0 × 10–5 m2
Length of the copper wire, L2 = 3.5 m
Area of cross-section of the copper wire, A2 = 4.0 × 10–5 m2
Change in length = ΔL1 = ΔL2 = ΔL
Force applied in both the cases = F
Young’s modulus of the steel wire:
`Y_1 = F_1/A_1 xx L_1/(triangleL)`
`= (F xx 4.7)/(3.0 xx 10^(-5) xx triangleL)`...(i)
Young’s modulus of the copper wire:
`Y_2 = F_2/A_2 xx L_2/triangle_2`
`= (Fxx3.5)/(4.0 xx 10^(-5) xx triangleL)` ...(ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii), we get:
`Y_1/Y_2 = (4.7xx 4.0xx 10^(-5))/(3.0xx10^(-5)xx 3.5) = 1.79:1`
The ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper is 1.79 : 1.
उत्तर २
For steel `I_1 = 4.7m`, `A_1 = 3.0 xx 10^(-5) m^2`
if F newton is the stretching force and `trianglel` metre the extension in each case, then
`Y_1 = (Fl_1)/(A_1trianglel)`
`=>Y_1 = (Fxx 4.7)/(3.0xx10^(-5)xxtrianglel)` ...(i)
For copper `l_2 = 3.5m`, `A_2 = 4.0 xx 10^(-5) m^2`
Now `Y_2 = (Fxx3.5)/(4.0xx10^(-5)xx trianglel)` ...(ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii) we get
`Y_1/Y_2 = 4.7/(3.0xx10^(-5)) xx (4.0xx10^(-5))/3.5 = (4.7xx4.0)/(3.0xx3.5) =1.79`

In nature, the failure of structural members usually result from large torque because of twisting or bending rather than due to tensile or compressive strains. This process of structural breakdown is called buckling and in cases of tall cylindrical structures like trees, the torque is caused by its own weight bending the structure. Thus the vertical through the centre of gravity does not fall within the base. The elastic torque caused because of this bending about the central axis of the tree is given by `(Ypir^4)/(4R) . Y` is the Young’s modulus, r is the radius of the trunk and R is the radius of curvature of the bent surface along the height of the tree containing the centre of gravity (the neutral surface). Estimate the critical height of a tree for a given radius of the trunk.
