2)1 astronomy unit (1Au) is defined as 92.9x106mile.convert the 1Au into the
following units:

a)Tm

3)determine the value of a and b in the question.E=Cmavb if E is kinetic


energy,m and v are mass and speed respectively,meanwhile C is a constant
without dimension.

4)A 0.50m string with cross-sectional area 1.0 x 10-6m2 has young modulus of 2.0
x 109Nm-2.by how much must you strecth the string to obtain a tension of 20N?

5)an anchor, made of cast iron with volume 0.230m3 has bulk modulus of 60
x109 Pa is lowered over the side of the ship to the bottom of the harbor.The
pressure below the harbor is greater than sea level pressure by 1.75 x 10 6
Pa.what is the change in the volume of the anchor?

6)show that the equation is dimensionally correct.

P=hpg

the larger piston is 20.0cm.What weight can the larger piston support when a
force of 250N is applied to the smaller piston?

9)A cube of gelatin with dimensions of 5.0cm on each side iis displaced0.64cm

when this mass-cable system

a)is at rest

b)moves upward at constant speed

c)moves upwards at constant accelerations 3.0ms-2

assume the cross-sectional area to be constant

(young’s modulus for steel=2.0 x 1011Pa;g=9.81 ms-2


15)each end of a wire of diameter 2.0mm is held by a holder.the holders are
2.0m apart and pass through a commom horizontal line.the wire is straight and
the tension in it is zero.a mass of a 10.0kg is then suspended in the middle of
the wire.the mass is observed to have moved vertically downward by 18.0 cm
as a result of the elongation of the wire.Determine the young’s modulus for the
wire.(g=9.81ms-2)
