1.A 500.0 g mass is placed on a 20.0 cm cube of gelatin. The 500.0 g mass (a 5.00 cm diameter disk) depresses the gelatin 0.243 mm. What is Young's modulus for this gelatin? ____________N/m^2 Later, a 2.00 kg mass disk (5.00 cm in diameter) is placed on the gelatin and the gelatin depresses 0.753 mm. Do you think the elastic limit of the gelatin has been exceeded?______ Explain _________________________
2.A manufacturer wishes to produce crude benzene models for the chemistry department. The manufacturer plans to do this by punching regular hexagons out of steel. If the steel plate is 0.500 cm thick, What is the minimum shearing force needed to punch regular hexagons with sides of length 5.56 cm? ________N Note: Assume that if the shear stress in steel exceeds 4.0 x 10^8 N/M^2 the steel ruptures.
1. To find Young's modulus for the gelatin, we can use Hooke's Law, which states that the strain (change in length or deformation) of a material is proportional to the stress (force applied) on it. Young's modulus is the constant of proportionality.
First, let's calculate the stress on the gelatin caused by the 500.0 g mass. The weight of an object can be calculated using the formula mass x acceleration due to gravity (g). In this case, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
Weight = mass x g
Weight = 0.500 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Now let's calculate the area over which the force is applied. The gelatin in this case is in the shape of a cube with sides of 20.0 cm. The area of one side of the cube is (20.0 cm)^2.
Area = (20.0 cm)^2
The stress is calculated as the force divided by the area.
Stress = Weight / Area
Now, let's calculate the strain. The strain is the change in length divided by the original length.
Strain = Change in length / Original length
In this case, the gelatin is depressed by 0.243 mm, which is the change in length. The original length is the thickness of the gelatin cube, 20.0 cm.
Strain = 0.243 mm / 20.0 cm
Finally, we can calculate Young's modulus using the formula:
Young's modulus = Stress / Strain
Plug in the values we calculated to find Young's modulus for the gelatin.
2. To determine if the elastic limit of the gelatin has been exceeded, we need to compare the strain caused by the 2.00 kg mass to the elastic limit of the gelatin. If the strain is within the elastic limit, the gelatin will return to its original shape after removing the load. If the strain exceeds the elastic limit, the gelatin will deform permanently.
Using the same process as for the first part, calculate the stress and strain caused by the 2.00 kg mass.
Stress = Force / Area
Strain = Change in length / Original length
Compare the strain to the elastic limit of the gelatin to determine if it has been exceeded. If the strain is greater than the elastic limit, then the elastic limit of the gelatin has been exceeded.
2. To determine the minimum shearing force needed to punch regular hexagons out of steel, we can use the formula for shear stress.
Shear stress = Shear force / Area
In this case, the area is the area of one side of the hexagon. The formula for the area of a regular hexagon is (3√3 x side length^2)/2.
The shear stress must not exceed the rupture limit of the steel, which is given as 4.0 x 10^8 N/m^2.
Now, rearrange the formula for shear stress to solve for the shear force:
Shear force = Shear stress x Area
Plug in the values we have to find the minimum shearing force needed to punch regular hexagons out of steel.
To solve these problems, we need to use the formulas related to Young's modulus and shear stress.
1. Young's modulus (Y) is defined as the ratio of stress (σ) to strain (ε) in a material:
Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L),
where F is the force applied, A is the cross-sectional area of the material, ΔL is the change in length, and L is the original length.
Given: mass = 500.0 g, disk diameter = 5.00 cm, gelatin depression = 0.243 mm = 0.0243 cm.
The cross-sectional area of the gelatin under the disk can be approximated as the area of a circle:
A = π * (d/2)^2,
where d is the diameter of the disk.
The force applied is equal to the weight of the mass:
F = m * g,
where m is the mass in kilograms and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2).
Plugging in the given values:
F = 0.5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2,
d = 5.00 cm.
Now, we can calculate the Young's modulus:
Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L) = (F * L) / (A * ΔL).
2. Shear stress (τ) is defined as the ratio of shear force (F) to the area (A) acted upon:
τ = F / A,
where F is the shearing force and A is the cross-sectional area.
Given: steel thickness = 0.500 cm, hexagon side length = 5.56 cm.
The cross-sectional area of the hexagon can be calculated as:
A = (3 * √3 * s^2) / 2,
where s is the side length.
We are also given the maximum shear stress (σ_max) the steel can tolerate.
Plugging in the given values:
s = 5.56 cm.
Now, we can calculate the minimum shearing force:
F = τ * A,
where τ = 4.0 x 10^8 N/m^2.
Please provide units for the values you'd like to input so that I can calculate the answers accurately.
