YH
Show that downward vertical force is about 11 N
Correct answer (10.8 N) (1) [no ue] 1
Example of calculation
W = mg
by
= 1.1 kg 9.81 N kg1
= 10.8 N
Example of calculation
tan = 4.80 m / 0.485 m
pi
Angle = 84.2
(Accept use of cos instead of tan)
om
Tv = T cos
W = 2 T cos
T = 10.8 N / 2 cos 84.2
= 53.4 N Alternative answers range from 51 N to 55 N

Example of calculation
extension = 9.847 m 9.6 m = 0.247 m
strain = 0.247 m / 9.6 m
= 2.6 102 [2.6%]
(c) Calculate Youngs modulus
Use of stress = force / area (1)
Use of E = stress / strain (1)
Correct answer [3.1 108 Pa] [3.1 108 N m2] (1) [allow ecf, including
use of F = 60 N]

[Substituting into E = (F/A)/(e/l) in one go gets both use of marks]
E = (F/A)/(e/l)
= (53.4 N / 6.6 106 m2) / 2.6 102
