Correct answer: 3

  1. Find the tension in wire BBB

Since the system is in equilibrium and friction is neglected, wire BBB supports only block RRR.

Mass of each block =3 kg= 3\,\text{kg}=3kg, so weight of each block is mg=3×10=30 N.mg = 3 \times 10 = 30\,\text{N}.mg=3×10=30N.

Hence, TB=30 N.T_B = 30\,\text{N}.TB​=30N.


  1. Use the relation for longitudinal strain

Longitudinal strain is strain=stressY=T/AY=TAY.\text{strain} = \frac{\text{stress}}{Y} = \frac{T/A}{Y} = \frac{T}{AY}.strain=Ystress​=YT/A​=AYT​.

Given:

  • A=0.005 cm2A = 0.005\,\text{cm}^2A=0.005cm2
  • Y=2×1011 N m−2Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,\text{N m}^{-2}Y=2×1011N m−2

Convert area into SI units: 0.005 cm2=0.005×10−4 m2=5×10−7 m2.0.005\,\text{cm}^2 = 0.005 \times 10^{-4}\,\text{m}^2 = 5 \times 10^{-7}\,\text{m}^2.0.005cm2=0.005×10−4m2=5×10−7m2.

Therefore, strain in B=30(5×10−7)(2×1011).\text{strain in } B = \frac{30}{(5 \times 10^{-7})(2 \times 10^{11})}.strain in B=(5×10−7)(2×1011)30​.

Now, (5×10−7)(2×1011)=10×104=105.(5 \times 10^{-7})(2 \times 10^{11}) = 10 \times 10^4 = 10^5.(5×10−7)(2×1011)=10×104=105.

So, strain=30105=3×10−4.\text{strain} = \frac{30}{10^5} = 3 \times 10^{-4}.strain=10530​=3×10−4.


  1. Final answer

The longitudinal strain on wire BBB is 3×10−4.3 \times 10^{-4}.3×10−4.

So the required integer is: 3\boxed{3}3​
