Two blocks of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and \(4 \mathrm{~kg}\) are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in figure. The radius of wire is \(4.0 \times 10^{-5}\) \(\mathrm{m}\) and Young's modulus of the metal is \(2.0 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\). The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is \(\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}\). The value of \(\alpha\) is _______. [Use \(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}=\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~m}_1 \mathrm{~m}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}\right) \mathrm{g}=\frac{80}{3} \mathrm{~N}\)

\(\mathrm{~A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^2=16 \pi \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}^2\)

\(\text { Strain }=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{AY}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{AY}}\)

\(=\frac{80 / 3}{16 \pi \times 10^{-10} \times 2 \times 10^{11}}=\frac{1}{12 \pi}\)

\(\alpha=12\)
