- A physics lab consists of a large ball attached to a wire. Students hold on to one end of the wire, then whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass= 320 gram, wire length= 1.3m, number of rotations/sec=2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young's modulus of 20x10^10 N/m^2.How much does the wire stretch due to the tension on it?
