A Solid Steel Column Is 4 2.0×2.0 \times 1011 N/m210 ^ { 11 } \mathrm {~N} / \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }

Question 15

Multiple Choice

A solid steel column is 4.0 m long and 0.20 m in diameter. Young's modulus for this steel is 2.0×2.0 \times 1011 N/m210 ^ { 11 } \mathrm {~N} / \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }
By what distance does the column shrink when a 5000-\mathrm{kg} truck is supported by it?


A) 3.2×106 m3.2 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } \mathrm {~m}
B) 7.8×106 m7.8 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } \mathrm {~m}
C) 3.1×105 m3.1 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } \mathrm {~m}
D) 8.0×107 m8.0 \times 10 ^ { - 7 } \mathrm {~m}
