A nylon rope used by mountaineers elongates 1.10 m under the weight of a 65.0 kg climber. If the rope is 45.0 m in length and 7.0 mm in diameter, what is Young’s modulus for nylon?
Added by Shane H.
Step 1
Given diameter = 7.0 mm = 7.0 x 10^-3 m Radius = diameter / 2 = 7.0 x 10^-3 / 2 = 3.5 x 10^-3 m Cross-sectional area = πr^2 = π(3.5 x 10^-3)^2 = 3.5 x 10^-3)^2 x π Show more…
