A rod of length 4 m is suspended from two wires
as shown in figure. One of them is made of steel
and other of copper of cross-sectional area 10^-2m^2
and 4 x 10^-2 m^2. Find distance x if equal stress is
experienced by both the wires (Ysteel = 2 10^11 N/m^2
and Y Copper = 1.1 * 10^11 N/m^2

Answer:
We know that the young's modulus is having a formulae of y=stress/strain so we will get that strain = stress/ y.
So, the stress of the steel wire = stress of the copper wire which will be given as σs/ys = σc/yc which will be σs/σc = ys/yc which will be 2*10^11/1.11*10^11 so the σs/σc = 1.801. Hence, σs=1.801σc.
Again, it is known that the σ=T/A where T is the tension and A is the area. So, we get that Ts=σs*As or Tc=σc*Ac, Therefore, if we divide both of them we will get that Ts/Tc =σs*As / σc*Ac or 1.801*As/Ac which is 10^-2/4*10^-2 * 1.801 that on solving we will get that 0.45. So, Ts= 0.45Tc. So, if the tension in the steel wire is 0.45 times of the copper wire tension. Accordingly the value of distance will change and will not remain at the center.
Answer: 3.2m
Explanation:HELLO MATE,
HERE YOUR ANSWER IS
Given,
Ysteel=2x10¹¹ N/m²
Ycopper=1.1x 10¹¹ N/m²
Cross sectional area of steel [As]= 10^-2 m²
Cross sectional area of copper[Ac]=4x10^-2 m²
Since it is said that equal stress is experienced by both wires. So,,
Stress of steel=stress of copper
And we know that stess = Tension/Area
so,,
Ts/As=Tc/Ac
Ts/10^-2= Tc/ 4x10^-2
Tc=4Ts
Now here length of the rod is 4m
So by applying the concept of centre of mass, we get that,
Ts x [X]= Tc x [4-X]
Ts x [X]= 4 Ts x [4-X] [Tc= 4Ts]
X= 16-4X
5X=16
X=3.2 m
Hope it helps.....
Have a nice day
