A crane with a steel cable of length 11 m and radius 2.0 cm is employed to lift a block of concrete of mass 40 tons in building site. Young's Modulus of steel is 2.0 xx 10^(11) Pa, what will be roughly the increase in the length of the cable while lifting the block ? (Take g = 10 ms^(-2))

Answer»

0.75 cm
1.25 cm
1.75 cm
2.50 cm

Solution :`Deltat=F/A.L/Y=(40xx1000xx10xx11)/(PI.(0.02)^(2)xx2xx10^(11))`
`=(4xx11)/(pixx4xx2)xx10^(-2)=1.75xx10^(-2)m`
`=1.75cm`
So CORRECT choice is (C).
