Elongation With change in Force

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the elongation of a wire when subjected to a specific percentage of its maximum load, specifically 30% of a 35N maximum load. The relevant equation for elongation is ΔL/L = FA/Y, where Y represents Young's modulus. The original poster struggles to set up a proportion between the forces and elongation equations to arrive at the correct solution. They invite others to share their attempts to facilitate understanding of the process. The conversation aims to clarify the relationship between force, elongation, and material properties.

Homework Statement


If said percentage of a maximum load (Max load 35N and 30% of that load) is held by a wire, by what percent of its length will it stretch?

Homework Equations


ΔL/L = FA/Y
Y = Youngs modulus

The Attempt at a Solution


(All values are random, just trying to understand the process)
My first attempt was to set up a proportion between the two forces and their respective elongation equations but I have not been able to get the correct answer

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
