(a) The "lead" in pencils is a graphite composition with a Young's modulus of about 1109 N/ m2. Calculate the change in length of the lead in an automatic pencil if you tap it straight into the pencil with a force of 4.0 N. The lead is 0.50 mm in diameter and 60 mm long. (b) Is the answer reasonable? That is, does it seem to be consistent with what you have observed when using pencils?
(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 high-speed lifting mechanism supports an 800.-kg object with a steel cable that is 25.0 m long and 4.00 cm2 in cross-sectional area. (a) Determine the elongation of the cable. (b) By what additional amount does the cable increase in length if the object is accelerated upward at a rate of 3.0 m/s2? (c) What is the greatest mass that can be accelerated upward at 3.0 m/s2 if the stress in the fable is not to exceed the elastic limit of the cable, which is 2.2 108 Pa?
A disk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 600 N. Find its shear deformation, taking it to have the shear modulus of 1109 N /m2. The disk is equivalent to a solid cylinder 0.700 cm high and 4.00 cm in diameter.
One end of a vertical metallic wire of length 2.0m and diameter 1.0mm is attached to a ceiling, and the other end is attached to a 5.0N weight pan, as shown below. The position of the pointer before the pan is 4.000cm . Different weights are then added to the pan area, and the position of the pointer is recorded in the table shown. Plot stess versus strain for this wire, then the use the resulting curve to determine Young’s modulus and the proportionality limit of the metal. What metal is this most likely to be?
Calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the bottom of the Marianas Trench near the Philippines, given its depth is 11.0 km and assuming the density of sea water is constant all the way down. (b) Calculate the percent decrease in volume of sea water due to such a pressure, assuming its bulk modulus is the same as water and is constant. (c) What would be the percent increase in its density? Is the assumption of constant density valid? Will the actual pressure be greater or smaller than that calculated under this assumption?

Use the graph in Figure P14.46 to list the three materials from greatest Youngs modulus to smallest. Explain your reasoning. FIGURE P14.46
What Is Static Equilibrium? Problems 13 are grouped. 1. C A ball is attached to a strong, lightweight rod (Fig. P14.1). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1
(a) Estimate the force with which a karate master strikes a board, assuming the hands speed at the moment of impact is 10.0 m/s and decreases to 1.00 m/s during a 0.002 00-s time interval of contact between the hand and the board. The mass of his hand and arm is 1.00 kg. (b) Estimate the shear stress, assuming this force is exerted on a 1.00-cm-thick pine board that is 10.0 cm wide, (c) If the maximum shear stress a pine board can support before breaking is 3.60 106 N/m2, will the board break?
Let A be the last digit and let B be the second to last digit of your 8-digit student ID. A steel wire is used to lift heavy object. The cable has a diameter of 9.25 mm and an initial length of 24.5 m. If the cable stretches 2.50 mm, what is the mass of the heavy object? Use 20.0 x 1010 Pa for Young’s modulus for steel. Give your answer in kg and with 3 significant figures.
