A plastic dowel has a Young's Modulus of 1.50 ✕ 1010 N/m2. Assume the dowel will break if more than 1.50 ✕ 108 N/m2 is exerted.
(a) What is the maximum force (in kN) that can be applied to the dowel assuming a diameter of 2.40 cm?
______Kn
(b) If a force of this magnitude is applied compressively, by how much (in mm) does the 26.0 cm long dowel shorten? (Enter the magnitude.)
mm

Answer:

a

   [tex]F = 67867.2 \ N[/tex]

b

  [tex]\Delta L = 2.6 \ mm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The Young modulus is  [tex]Y = 1.50 *10^{10} \ N/m^2[/tex]

      The stress is  [tex]\sigma = 1.50 *10^{8} \ N/m^2[/tex]

      The  diameter is  [tex]d = 2.40 \ cm = 0.024 \ m[/tex]

The radius is mathematically represented as

       [tex]r =\frac{d}{2} = \frac{0.024}{2} = 0.012 \ m[/tex]

The cross-sectional area is  mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

         [tex]A = 3.142 * (0.012)^2[/tex]

        [tex]A = 0.000452\ m^2[/tex]

Generally the stress is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\sigma = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]

=>     [tex]F = \sigma * A[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = 1.50 *10^{8} * 0.000452[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = 67867.2 \ N[/tex]

Considering part b

      The length is given as [tex]L = 26.0 \ cm = 0.26 \ m[/tex]

Generally Young modulus is mathematically represented as

           [tex]E = \frac{ \sigma}{ strain }[/tex]

Here strain is mathematically represented as

         [tex]strain = \frac{ \Delta L }{L}[/tex]

So    

       [tex]E = \frac{ \sigma}{\frac{\Delta L }{L} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = \frac{\sigma }{1} * \frac{ L}{\Delta L }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\Delta L = \frac{\sigma * L }{E}[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]\Delta L = \frac{ 1.50*10^{8} * 0.26 }{ 1.50 *10^{10 }}[/tex]

       [tex]\Delta L = 0.0026[/tex]

Converting to mm

      [tex]\Delta L = 0.0026 *1000[/tex]

      [tex]\Delta L = 2.6 \ mm[/tex]
