[RPET 2000]

Options:

A) 4 mm

B) 16 mm

C) 1 mm

D) 0.25 mm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ l=\frac{FL}{AY}\

Therefore l\propto \frac{F}{r^{2}} $

$ \frac{l _{1}}{l _{2}}=\frac{F _{2}}{F _{1}}{{\left( \frac{r _{1}}{r _{2}} \right)}^{2}}=(4)\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=1 $ $ l _{2}=l _{1}=1mm $
