EXERCISE 13, Page 31

1.

A wire is stretched 1.5 mm by a force of 300 N. Determine the force that would stretch the wire

4 mm, assuming the elastic limit of the wire is not exceeded.

Hooke's law states that extension x is proportional to force F, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded, i.e. x

F or x = kF where k is a constant.

1.5

When x = 1.5 mm, F = 300 N, thus 1.5 = k(300), from which, constant k =

300

= 0.005

When x = 4 mm, then 4 = kF i.e. 4 = 0.005 F

4 from which, force F =

0.005

= 800 N

Thus to stretch the wire 4 mm, a force of 800 N is required.

2.

A rubber band extends 50 mm when a force of 300 N is applied to it. Assuming the band is

within the elastic limit, determine the extension produced by a force of 60 N.

Hooke's law states that extension x is proportional to force F, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded, i.e. x

F or x = kF where k is a constant.

When x = 50 mm, F = 300 N, thus 50 = k(300), from which, constant k =

50

1

300 6

When F = 60 N, then x = k(60) i.e. x =

1

 

= 10 mm

Thus, a force of 60 N stretches the wire 10 mm.

3.

A force of 25 kN applied to a piece of steel produces an extension of 2 mm. Assuming the elastic

limit is not exceeded, determine (a) the force required to produce an extension of 3.5 mm, (b) the

extension when the applied force is 15 kN.

From Hooke’s law, extension x is proportional to force F within the limit of proportionality, i.e.

30

© John Bird & Carl Ross Published by Taylor and Francis

x

F or x = kF, where k is a constant. If a force of 25 kN produces an extension of 2 mm, then

2 = k(25), from which, constant k =

2

25

= 0.08

(a) When an extension x = 3.5 mm, then 3.5 = k(F), i.e. 3.5 = 0.08 F,

from which, force F =

3.5

0.08

= 43.75 kN

(b) When force F = 15 kN, then extension x = k(15) = (0.08)(15) = 1.2 mm

Plot the load/extension graph, and from the graph determine (a) the load at an extension of

0.09 mm, and (b) the extension corresponding to a load of 12.0 kN.

carrying a load of 200 kN.
