Calculating Young's Modulus for a Rod Using Pressure and Diameter Measurements

AI Thread Summary
To calculate Young's Modulus for a rod, the relevant formula is Young's Modulus = stress/strain, where stress is defined as Force/Area and strain is the extension divided by the original length. Given a rod length of 15 cm, a diameter of 1.3 cm, and a pressure of 17795 Pa, the area can be calculated to find the force. The extension (ΔL) is needed to complete the calculation, but the user expressed confusion about where to incorporate pressure into the equations. Correct application of these formulas will yield the Young's modulus value. Understanding the relationships between stress, strain, and the physical dimensions of the rod is crucial for solving the problem.

Homework Statement



length: 15 cm
Δlength ?
diameter 1.3 cm
pressure 17795 pa
γ= 2.0*10^11 Nm^2

Homework Equations



ΔL=γLA/F

The Attempt at a Solution



i could not find the answer don' know where to place pressure
 
Physics news on Phys.org
pressure = Force / Area

Do you have any study material from where you study ? :eek:
 
Your Young's modulus equations are not correct.
Young's modulus = stress/ strain
Stress = Force/area = F/A
Strain = extension/orig length strain = ΔL/L
Put these in the stress/strain equation and take it from there.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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...
