A stainless steel orthodontic wire is applied to a tooth, as shown in the figure above. The wire has an unstretched length of 2.9 cm and a diameter of 0.23 mm.The wire is stretched 0.1 mm.Young,s modulus for stainless steel is 1.80 E+11 Pa. What is the tension in the wire?-What is the magnitude of the force on the tooth due to the wires?Disregard the width of the tooth.
