Direction: Solve and show your complete solution for each problem in a white and clean
short/long bond paper. If bond paper is not available, you may write your solutions in any
CLEAN and PRESENTABLE paper. Encircle or box your final answer. Scan or take a CLEAR
PICTURE of your solutions and answers and submit the image file or pdf in the designated
submission bin in MOLE classroom.
1. (8pts) A circular steel wire 2.00 m long must stretch no more than 0.25 cm when a tensile force of 400
N is applied to each end of the wire. What minimum diameter, in mm, is required for the wire? Express
your answer into 2 decimal places.
2. (15 pts) A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50 m long is required to support a load of
8000 kg. You can ignore the weight of the post. What are
(a) the stress in the post;
(b) the strain in the post; and
(c) the change in the post's length when the load is applied?
3. (10pts) A steel cable with cross-sectional area 3.00 cm2 has an elastic limit of 2.40 X 108 Pa. Find the
maximum upward acceleration that can be given a 1200-kg elevator supported by the cable if the
stress is not to exceed one-third of the elastic limit.
4. (15pts) A proud deep-sea fisherman hangs a 65.0-kg fish from an ideal spring having negligible mass.
The fish stretches the spring 0.120 m.
(a) Find the force constant of the spring.
The fish is now pulled down 5.00 cm and released.
(b) What is the period of oscillation of the fish?
(c) What is the maximum speed it will reach?
5. (20pts) A uniform, solid metal disk of mass 6.50 kg and diameter 24.0 cm hangs in a horizontal plane,
supported at its center by a vertical metal wire. You find that it requires a horizontal force of 4.23 N
tangent to the rim of the disk to turn it by 3.34°, thus twisting the wire. You now remove this force and
release the disk from rest.
(a) What is the torsion constant for the metal wire?
(b) What are the frequency and period of the torsional oscillations of the disk?
(c) Write the equation of motion for θ(t) for the disk.
