Physics Information

This simulation demonstrates the elongation of a steel wire when a mass is whirled in a vertical circle.

The formula used is: Δl = (mg + mlω²)l / (AY)

Where:

  • Δl = Elongation of the wire
  • m = Mass
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
  • l = Length of the wire
  • ω = Angular velocity (in rad/s)
  • A = Cross-sectional area of the wire
  • Y = Young's modulus for steel (2 × 10¹¹ Pa)
