Question Number 18666 by tawa tawa last updated on 26/Jul/17
An elastic material has a length of 36cm when a load of 40N is hung on it and a length of 45cm when a load of 60N is hung on it. what is the Original length of the string ?

36−((45−36)/(60−40))×40=18 cm
$$\mathrm{36}−\frac{\mathrm{45}−\mathrm{36}}{\mathrm{60}−\mathrm{40}}×\mathrm{40}=\mathrm{18}\:\mathrm{cm} \\ $$

x=length without load k=elongation for unit load 36−x=40k ...(i) 45−x=60k ...(ii) (i)/(ii): ((36−x)/(45−x))=((40)/(60)) 36×60−60x=45×40−40x (60−40)x=36×60−45×40 x=((36×60−45×40)/(60−40))=18

or solution without equation: load from 40 to 60: length from 36 to 45. ⇒elongation for unit load: ((45−36)/(60−40)) ⇒elongation for load= 40 is ((45−36)/(60−40))×40 ⇒length at load =0 is 36−((45−36)/(60−40))×40=18 cm
