You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 30 kg from a tungsten rod 2.8 m long by 1.5 mm by 2.6 mm. You measure the stretch of the rod, and find that the rod stretched 0.000594 m. Using these experimental data, what value of Young's modulus do you get? Y = N/m2 The atomic mass of tungsten is 184 g/mole, and the density of tungsten is 18.7 g/cm3. Using this information along with the measured value of Young's modulus, calculate the speed of sound in tungsten.

Young's modulus (Y) = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

The speed of sound in tungsten = 6166.4 m/s

Explanation:

Young's modulus (Y) = stress/strain

Stress = force/area

Force = mg = 30×9.8 = 294 N

Area = 1.5 × 2.6 = 3.9 mm^2 = 3.9/10^6 = 3.9×10^-6 m^2

Stress = 294/3.9×10^-6 = 7.54×10^7 N/m^2

Strain = extension/length

Extension = 0.000594 m

Length = 2.8 m

Strain = 0.000594/2.8 = 2.12×10^-4

Y = 7.54×10^7/2.12×10^-4 = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

Y = h × rho × g

rho = 18.7 g/cm^3 = 18.7 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × (100 cm/1 m)^3 = 18,700 kg/m^3

h = 3.56×10^11/(18,700×9.8) = 1.94×10^6 m

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh =

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

v = sqrt (2×9.8×1.94×10^6)

v = 6166.4 m/s
