An amusement park ride consists of airplane-shaped cars attached to steel rods. Each rod has a length of 15m and a cross-sectional area 8.00cm^2. Take Young's modulus for steel to be Y= 2.0 x 10^11 Pa.
How much is the rod stretched (change in length of) when the ride is at rest? Assume that each car with two people seated in it has a total weight of 1900 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of each rod, L = 15 m

Area of cross section of the rod,

Young's modulus for steel,

Total weight of two people, F = 1900 N

We need to find the stretching in the rod when the ride is at rest. The formula of Young's modulus of a material is given by :

Here, is the stretching in the rod

So, the rod will stretched to

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
