Answer:

1. SI unit: N m^-2 or pascal (Pa)
2. Dimensions: [L^-1M¹T^-2]

Question 4.

Answer:
Strain:

1. Strain is defined as the ratio of change in dimensions of the body to its original dimensions.
   Strain = \(\frac{\text { change in dimensions }}{\text { original dimensions }}\)
2. Types of strain:
   • Longitudinal strain,
   • Volume strain,
   • Shearing strain.

Question 5.

Answer:
Young’s modulus (Y): It is the modulus of elasticity related to change in length of an object like a metal wire, rod, beam, etc., due to the applied deforming force.

Question 6.
Why bridges are unsafe after a very long use?
Answer:
A bridge during its use undergoes recurring stress depending upon the movement of vehicles on it. When bridge is used for long time, it loses its elastic strength and ultimately may collapse. Hence, the bridges are declared unsafe after long use.

Question 7.
How should be a force applied on a body to produce shearing stress?
Answer:
A tangential force which is parallel to the top and the bottom surface of the body should be applied to produce shearing stress.

Question 8.

Answer:
Hooke’s Taw holds good only when a wire/body is loaded within its elastic limit.

Answer:
A material that can be elastically stretched to a larger value of strain is called an elastomer.

Question 11.
What do you mean by elastic hysteresis?
Answer:

1. In case of some materials like vulcanized rubber, when the stress applied on a body decreases to zero, the strain does not return to zero immediately. The strain lags behind the stress. This lagging of strain behind the stress is called elastic hysteresis.
2. Below figure shows the stress-strain curve for increasing and decreasing load. It encloses a loop. Area of loop gives the energy dissipated during deformation of a material.

2. Rolling friction arises as the point of contact of the body with the surface keep changing continuously.

Question 4.
Explain how lubricants help in reducing friction?
Answer:

1. The friction between lubricant to surface is much less than the friction between two same surfaces. Hence using lubricants reduces the friction between the two surfaces.
2. When lubricant is applied to machine parts, it fills the depression present on the surface in contact. Thus, less friction is occurred between machine parts.
3. Application of lubricants also reduces wear and tear of machine parts which in turn reduces friction.

   F_L ∝ N
   ∴ F_L = µ_s N
   where, µ_s = constant called coefficient of static friction.
2. Second law: The limiting force of friction is
   independent of the apparent area between the surfaces in contact, so long as the normal reaction remains the same.
3. Third law: The limiting force of friction depends upon materials in contact and the nature of their surfaces.

Answer:
Laws of kinetic friction:

1. First law: The force of kinetic friction (Fk) is directly proportional to the normal reaction (N) between two surfaces in contact.
   F_k ∝ N
   ∴ F_k = µ_kN
   where, µ_k = constant called coefficient of kinetic friction.
2. Second law: Force of kinetic friction is independent of shape and apparent area of the surfaces in contact.
3. Third law: Force of kinetic friction depends upon the nature and material of the surfaces in contact.

Definition: Young ‘s modulus is the ratio of longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain.
It is denoted by Y.
Unit: N/m² or Pa in SI system.

Experimental description to find Young’s modulus:

i. Consider a metal wire suspended from a rigid support. A load is attached to the free end of the wire. Due to this, deforming force gets applied to the free end of wire in downward direction and it produces a change in length.
Let,
L = original length of wire,
Mg = weight suspended to wire,

(L + l) = new length of wire.
r = radius of the cross section of wire

ii. In its equilibrium position,

Question 4.

Answer:
Expression for strain energy per unit volume;

i. Consider a wire of original length L and cross sectional area A stretched by a force F acting along its length. The wire gets stretched and elongation l is produced in it

ii. If the wire is perfectly elastic then,
Longitudinal stress = \(\frac{F}{A}\)
Longitudinal strain = \(\frac{l}{L}\)

iii. The magnitude of stretching force increases from zero to F during elongation of wire.
Let ‘f’ be the restoring force and ‘x’ be its corresponding extension at certain instant during the process of extension.
∴ f = \(\frac{\text { YAx }}{\mathrm{L}}\) ……………. (2)

iv. Let ‘dW’ be the work done for the further small extension ‘dx’.
Work = force × displacement
∴ dW = fdx
∴ dW= \(\frac{\text { YAx }}{L}\) dx …………..(3) [From (2)]

v. The total amount of work done in stretching the wire from x = 0 to x = l can be found out by integrating equation (3).

∴ Work done in stretching a wire,
W = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × load × extension

vi. Work done by stretching force is equal to strain energy gained by the wire.
∴ Strain energy = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × load × extension

vii. Work done per unit volume

∴ Strain energy per unit volume = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × stress × strain

Question 1.
Why does a rubber band become loose after repeated use?
Answer:

1. After repeated use of rubber band, its stress-strain curve does not remain linear.
2. In such case, since rubber crosses its elastic limit, there is a permanent set formed on the rubber due to which it becomes loose.

Question 1.
i. It is difficult to run fast on sand.
ii. It is easy to roll than pull a barrel along a road.
iii. An inflated tyre rolls easily than a flat tyre.
iv. Friction is a necessary evil.
Answer:
i.

1. The intermolecular space between crystals of sand is very large as compared to that in a rigid surface.
2. Thus, there are number of depressions at the points of contact of feet and sand surface.
3. Projections and depressions between sand and feet are not completely interlocked.
4. Thus, action and reaction force become unbalanced. The horizontal component of force helps to move forward and vertical component of the force resist to move.
   Hence, it becomes difficult to run fast on sand.

ii.

1. When a barrel is pulled along a road, the friction between the tyres and road is kinetic friction, but when its rolls along the road it undergoes rolling friction.
2. The force of kinetic friction is greater than force of rolling friction.
   Hence, it is easy to roll than pull a barrel along a road.

iii.

1. When the tyre is inflated, the pressure inside the tyre is reducing the normal force between tyre and the ground, and thus reducing the friction between the tyre and the road.
2. When the tyre gets deflated, it gets deformed during rolling, the supplied energy is used up in changing the shape and not overcoming the friction, and thus due to deformation, friction increases.
   Hence, an inflated tyre rolls easily than a flat tyre.

iv.

1. Friction helps us to walk, hold objects in hand, lift objects and without friction we cannot walk, we cannot grip or hold objects with our hands,
2. Friction is responsible for wear and tear of various part of machines, it produces heat in different parts of machine and also produces noise but it also helps in ball bearing or connecting screws.
   Hence, friction is said to be a necessary evil because it is useful as well as harmful.
