The stretching force acting on the second wire, given the data is 588 N
Data obtained from the question
- Radius of fist wire (r₁) = 3.9×10⁻³ m
- Force of first wire (F₁) = 450 N
- Radius of second wire (r₂) = 5.1×10⁻³ m
- Force of second wire (F₂) =?
How to determine the force of the second wire
F₁ / r₁ = F₂ / r₂
450 / 3.9×10⁻³ = F₂ / 5.1×10⁻³
cross multiply
3.9×10⁻³ × F₂ = 450 × 5.1×10⁻³
Divide both side by 3.9×10⁻³
F₂ = (450 × 5.1×10⁻³) / 3.9×10⁻³
F₂ = 588 N
