Answer:
The highest percentage of change corresponds to the thinnest rod, the correct answer is a
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise we are asked to change the length of the bar by the action of a force applied along its length, in this case we focus on the expression of longitudinal elasticity
F / A = Y ΔL/L
where F / A is the force per unit length, ΔL / L is the fraction of the change in length, and Y is Young's modulus.
In this case the bars are made of the same material by which Young's modulus is the same for all
ΔL / L = (F / A) / Y
the area of the bar is the area of a circle
A = π r² = π d² / 4
A = π / 4 d²
we substitute
ΔL / L = (F / Y) 4 /πd²
changing length
ΔL = (F / Y 4 /π) L / d²
The amount between paracentesis are all constant in this exercise, let's look for the longitudinal change
a) values given d and 3L
ΔL = cte 3L / d²
ΔL = cte L /d² 3
To find the percentage, we must divide the change in magnitude by its value and multiply by 100.
ΔL/L % = [(F /Y 4/π 1/d²) 3L ] / 3L 100
ΔL/L % = cte 100%
b) 3d and L value, we repeat the same process as in part a
ΔL = cte L / 9d²
ΔL = cte L / d² 1/9
ΔL / L% = cte 100/9
ΔL / L% = cte 11%
c) 2d and 2L value
ΔL = (cte L / d ½ )/ 2L
ΔL/L% = cte 100/4
ΔL/L% = cte 25%
d) value 4d and L
ΔL = cte L / d² 1/16
ΔL/L % = cte 100/16
ΔL/L % = cte 6.25%
The highest percentage of change corresponds to the thinnest rod, the correct answer is a
