Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10
6 Nm
-2
Concept:
Elastic potential energy: When a force is applied to deform an elastic object, the energy is stored in the object until the force is removed and it gets back to its original shape. Such energy is called as elastic potential energy. Example: catapult.
Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is the energy that possessed by an object due to its motion.
Young’s modulus: Young’s modulus is the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.
Calculation:
Given, Length of the cord, l = 42 cm
Diameter of cross-section, d = 6 mm
Mass of the stone, m = 0.02 kg
Change in length of the cord, Δl = 20 cm
Velocity of the stone, v = 20 ms-1
When the kinetic energy acting on the stone includes energy excreted by the catapult on the stone.
The energy of the catapult (elastic potential energy) is:
\({\rm{E}} = \frac{1}{2} \times {\rm{stress}} \times {\rm{strain}} \times {\rm{volume}}\)
\({\rm{E}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \left( {{\rm{Y}}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}l}}{l}} \right){\rm{A}}l} \right) \times \left( {\frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}l}}{l}} \right)\)
The kinetic energy acting on the stone is:
\({\rm{K}}.{\rm{E}} = \frac{1}{2}{\rm{m}}{{\rm{v}}^2}\)
Now, the kinetic energy of the stone is equal to the energy of the catapult.
\(\frac{1}{2} \times \left( {{\rm{Y}}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}l}}{l}} \right){\rm{A}}l} \right) \times \left( {\frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}l}}{l}} \right) = \frac{1}{2}{\rm{m}}{{\rm{v}}^2}\)
Where, Y = Young’s modulus
A = Area of the stone
i.e. A = πr2 = π × (3 × 10-3)2 = π × 9 × 10-6 m2 \(\left[ {r = \frac{d}{2}} \right]\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times \left( \text{YA}l \right)\times {{\left( \frac{\Delta l}{l} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{m}{{\text{v}}^{2}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times \text{YA}\times \frac{{{\left( \text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }l \right)}^{2}}}{l}=\frac{1}{2}\text{m}{{\text{v}}^{2}}\)
Keeping the unknown value on one side and bringing rest of the variables on another side,
\(\Rightarrow {\rm{Y}} = \frac{{{\rm{m}}{{\rm{v}}^2}l}}{{{{\left( {{\rm{\Delta }}l} \right)}^2} \times {\rm{A}}}}\)
On substituting the values, we get
\({\rm{Y}} = \frac{{0.02 \times {{20}^2} \times 42 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}{{{{\left( {20 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \right)}^2} \times {\rm{\pi }} \times 9 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}\)
\(\Rightarrow {\rm{Y}} = \frac{{3.36}}{{1.13 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} = 2.97 \times {10^6} \approx 3 \times {10^6}{\rm{\;N}}/{{\rm{m}}^2}\)
Thus, the order of young’s modulus is 10
