Answer:
1.49 mm
Explanation:
The modulus of elasticity, Y = stress/strain = σ/ε
σ = F/A where F = load = 68 kN = 68 × 10³ N and A = cross-sectional area of rod = πd²/4 where d = diameter of rod = 3 cm = 3 × 10⁻² m.
ε = ΔL/L where ΔL = change in length of the circular rod and L = length of circular rod = 3.1 ,
So, Y = σ/ε
Y = F/A ÷ ΔL/L
Y = FL/AΔL
making the change in length ΔL subject of the formula, we have
ΔL = FL/AY
substituting the value of A into the equation, we have
So, ΔL = FL/(πd²/4)Y
ΔL = 4FL/πd²Y
Since Y = 200 GPa = 200 × 10⁹ Pa
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
ΔL = 4FL/πd²Y
ΔL = 4 × 68 × 10³ N × ×3.1 m/[π(3 × 10⁻²m)² × 200 × 10⁹ Pa]
ΔL = 843.2 × 10³ Nm/[9π × 10⁻⁴m² × 200 × 10⁹ Pa]
ΔL = 843.2 × 10³ Nm/[1800π × 10⁵ N]
ΔL = 843.2 × 10³ Nm/5654.87 × 10⁵ N
ΔL = 0.149 × 10⁻² m
ΔL = 1.49 × 10⁻³ m
ΔL = 1.49 mm
The change in length of the circular rod is 1.49 mm
