To tune the wire the tension must be increased to 4050 n


A steel piano wire(Y = 2.0× 1011 Pa) has a diameter of 0.7600 mm.

At one end it is wrapped around a tuning pin of diameter 7.200 mm (See figure below). The length of the wire (not including the wire wrapped around the tuning pin) is 66.00 cm.

Initially, the tension in the wire is 381.0 N.

To tune the wire, the tension must be increased to 405.0 N.

Through what angle must the tuning pin be turned?
