For a given stress, the strain in rubber is more than it is in steel, hence the Young's modulus of rubber is lesser than in steel. So the statement is False.
Shear modulus is the ratio of the applied stress to the change in the shape of a body. The stretching of a coil changes its shape. Hence, shear modulus of elasticity is involved in this process.
= 2.2

From the given graph, for the value stress 150 N/ , the strain is 0.002
Young's modulus = = 7.5 N/
Yield strength is the maxium strength the material can withstand in elastic limit. From the graph, the yield strength is 300 or 3

11.20 Potential difference across evacuated tube, V = 500 V
Specific charge of electron, e/m = 1.76 C/kg
The speed of each emitted electron is given by the relation of kinetic energy as
= =
= = = 13.27 m/s
Therefore, the speed of each emitted electron is 13.27 m/s
Collector potential, V = 10 MV = 10 V
The speed is given by = = 1.876 m/s
This is not possible nothing can move faster than the light. In the above formula
= can only be used in the non-relativistic limit, i.e. v << c
For very high speed problems

11.19 Temperature of the Nitrogen molecule, T = 300 K
Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14.0076 u
Hence, mass of Nitrogen molecule, m = 2 14.0076 u = 28.0152 u
We know, 1 u = 1.66 kg
So, m = 28.0152 1.66 kg = 4.65 kg
Planck's constant, h = 6.626 Js
Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38 kg
We have the expression that relates to mean kinetic energy ( of the nitrogen molecule with root mean square speed ( ) as:
=
= = 516.814 m/s
De Broglie wavelength of the nitrogen molecule
= = 2.76 m = 0.0276 nm
Therefore,

11.16 Wavelength of electron, = Wavelength of proton, = 1.0 nm = 1 m
Planck's constant, h = 6.626 Js
From De Broglie wavelength relation, where p = momentum
= = = 6.626 kg.m/s. Since , their momentum will be also equal.
The energy of photon is given by the relation: =
where c = speed of light = 3 m/s
= Js = eV = 1242.38 eV = 1.242 keV
Kinetic energy of electron, having momentum p is given by the relation
= where m = mass of electron = 9.1 kg.
