A fisher caught a fish 5.0 kg striped bass and the fishing line is 0.55mm in diameter. When the fish is pulled in and hangs vertically from the line out of the water, what is the fractional increase in length (ΔL/L0) of the fishing line if the fish is at rest? The fishing line has a Young's modulus of 5.1×109N/m2. Assume that the force did not exceed the elastic region of the fishing line material.

A brass wire and a steel wire, both of the same length, are extended by 1.0 mm under the same force. Is the cross-sectional radius of the brass wire more, less, or equal to the cross-sectional radius of the steel wire? Explain. Youngs moduli for brass and steel are 1.0 1010 N/m2 and 2.0 1011 N/m2, respectively.
(a) When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, V/V0=9.05102 ). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it freezes? (It is acceptable to use the bulk modulus of water in this problem.) (b) Is it surprising that such forces can fracture engine blocks, boulders, and the like?
A 61 cm long copper wire is clamped at one end and a stone weighing 2.2 kg is attached to the other end. The stone is rotated in a horizontal plane with an angular velocity of 13 rad/s. To what lenght does the wire get streched? The surface of the wire cross section is 1.3 mm². The elastic modulus of copper is 120 GPa.

The elastic limit of an alloy is 5.0×108 N/m2. What is the minimum radius ?min of a 9.0 m long wire made from the alloy if a single strand is designed to support a commercial sign that has a weight of 8000 N and hangs from a fixed point? To stay within safety codes, the wire cannot stretch more than 5.0 cm. ?min = ? m
A shaft having length equal to 10 m and diameter equal to (50 + 21) mm is simply supported at both ends. The shaft carries four masses (150 + 21) kg, (200 + 22) kg, (250 + 21) kg and (300 + 21) kg. These masses are located at a distance of 1.5 m, 2.5 m, 5.5 m and 7.5 m from the left hand side support, respectively. The modulus of elasticity, E, for the material of the shaft is 200 GN/m2 and mass density for the shaft material is 7500 kg/m3. Determine critical speed of the shaft in revolutions per minute for the following two cases: i. Effect of the mass of the shaft is neglected. ii. Effect of the mass of the shaft is considered. What is the usefulness of the answers determined in this problem?
The normal force of the ground on the foot can reach three times a runner's body weight when the foot strikes the pavement. By what amount does the 52-cm-long femur of an 75 kg runner compress at this moment? The cross-section area of the bone of the femur can be taken as 5.2×10−4m2 and its Young's modulus is 1.6×1010N/m2. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A stainless-steel orthodontic wire is applied to a tooth, as in Figure P9.72. The wire has an unstretched length of 3.1 cm and a radius of 0.11 mm. If the wire is stretched 0.10 mm, find the magnitude and direction of the force on the tooth. Disregard the width of the tooth and assume Young’s modulus for stainless steel is 18 x 1010 Pa.
