To calculate the applied stress, we can use the formula:
Stress = Force / Area
The area of a wire can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:
Area = π * (diameter/2)^2
Given that the diameter of the wire is 0.6mm, the radius would be half of that, or 0.3mm (or 0.0003m). Plugging this into the formula, we get:
Area = π * (0.0003)^2 = 0.00000028274334 m^2
Now we can calculate the stress:
Stress = 60N / 0.00000028274334 m^2 = 212,121,212,121.21 N/m^2
So the applied stress is approximately 212,121,212,121.21 N/m^2.
To calculate the strain on the wire, we can use the formula:
Strain = Change in length / Original length
Given that the wire extended by 3mm (or 0.003m), and the original length of the wire is 6m, we can calculate the strain:
Strain = 0.003m / 6m = 0.0005
So the strain on the wire is 0.0005.
To calculate the Young's modulus of steel, we can use the formula:
Young's modulus = Stress / Strain
Plugging in the values we calculated earlier:
Young's modulus = 212,121,212,121.21 N/m^2 / 0.0005 = 424,242,424,242,420 N/m^2
So the Young's modulus of steel is approximately 424,242,424,242,420 N/m^2.
