A hanging wire made of an alloy of iron with diameter 0.09 cm is initially 2.2 m long. When a 66 kg mass is hung from it,
the wire stretches an amount 1.12 cm. A mole of iron has a mass of 56 grams, and its density is 7.87 g/cm3.
(a) Based on these experimental measurements, what is Young's modulus for this alloy of iron?
(b) Find the approximate value of the effective spring stiffness of one interatomic bond in iron.
