8.Mechanical Properties of Solids

A metal wire of length $L_1$ and area of cross section $A$ is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length $L_2$ and of the same cross sectional area is attached to the free end of the first wire. A body of mass $M$ is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ are the Youngs moduli of the wires respectively, the effective force constant of the system of two wires is :

A

$\frac{{\left[ {\left( {{Y_1}{Y_2}} \right)A} \right]}}{{\left[ {2\left( {{Y_1}{L_2} + {Y_2}{L_1}} \right)} \right]}}$

B

$\frac{{\left[ {\left( {{Y_1}{Y_2}} \right)A} \right]}}{{{{\left( {{L_1} + {L_2}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}}}$

C

$\frac{{\left[ {\left( {{Y_1}{Y_2}} \right)A} \right]}}{{\left[ {\left( {{Y_1}{L_2} + {Y_2}{L_1}} \right)} \right]}}$

D

$\frac{{\left[ {{{\left( {{Y_1}{Y_2}} \right)}^{1/2}}A} \right]}}{{{{\left( {{L_1} + {L_2}} \right)}^{1/2}}}}$

Solution

$\mathrm{K}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{Y}_{1} \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{L}_{1}}, \mathrm{K}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{Y}_{2} \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{L}_{2}}$

$\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{K}_{1} \mathrm{K}_{2}}{\mathrm{K}_{1}+\mathrm{K}_{2}}$
