Calculate Young's Modulus and Change in Diameter of Nylon Rope

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework problem involving the calculation of Young's modulus and the change in diameter of a nylon rope under stress. The scenario describes a nylon rope extending by 1.5 m when an 80 kg load is applied, with a total length of 50 m and a diameter of 10 mm. Participants emphasize that such questions should be posted in the appropriate subforum for coursework and homework. Responses are contingent upon the poster demonstrating their effort in solving the problem first. Overall, the thread highlights the importance of adhering to forum guidelines for academic inquiries.

A piece of nylon rope used by a mountaineer extended by 1.5 m when carrying the load of the 80 kg mountaineer. If the total length of the rope is 50 m and its diameter is 10 mm, determine the Young’s of this material. If the Poisson’s ratio of nylon is 0.1, determine the change in the diameter of the rope due to this stress.

1. This is a homework/textbook problem. Please post it in the appropriate subforum; it does not belong here, in solid state physics.

2. We do not respond to such questions unless they conform to the posting guidelines for coursework problems. Specifically, we can not help you unless you show your effort first.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
