The relationship between load (\(y\)) in N and elongation (\(x\)) in mm of a cotton fabric is \(y = \sqrt{x}\). If the breaking elongation of the fabric is \(9\) mm, the work of rupture, in N,mm, is _____________.

Calculating Work of Rupture

The work of rupture is defined as the area under the load-elongation curve up to the point of breaking.

Given the relationship between load \(y\) (in N) and elongation \(x\) (in mm) as:

$\(y = \sqrt{x}\)$

The breaking elongation is given as \(x_{max} = 9\) mm.

To find the work of rupture (W), we integrate the load function \(y\) with respect to elongation \(x\) from 0 to the breaking elongation \(x_{max}\):

$\(W = \int_{0}^{x_{max}} y \, dx\)$

Substituting the given values:

$\(W = \int_{0}^{9} \sqrt{x} \, dx = \int_{0}^{9} x^{1/2} \, dx\)$

Now, perform the integration:

$\(W = \left[ \frac{x^{1/2 + 1}}{1/2 + 1} \right]_{0}^{9} = \left[ \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} \right]_{0}^{9} = \left[ \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} \right]_{0}^{9}$

Evaluate the definite integral:

$\(W = \frac{2}{3} (9)^{3/2} - \frac{2}{3} (0)^{3/2}$

$\(W = \frac{2}{3} (9^{1/2})^3 - 0\)$

$\(W = \frac{2}{3} (3)^3\)$

$\(W = \frac{2}{3} (27)\)$

$\(W = 2 \times 9\)$

$\(W = 18\)$

The work of rupture is 18 N.mm.
