Physics Elasticity Question 148

Question: On applying a stress of $ 20\times 10^{8} $ N/$ m^{2} $ the length of a perfectly elastic wire is doubled. Its Young’s modulus will be

[MP PET 2000]

Options:

A) $ 40\times 10^{8}N/m^{2} $

B)$ 20\times 10^{8}N/m^{2} $

C) $ 10\times 10^{8}N/m^{2} $

D)$ 5\times 10^{8}N/m^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Young’s modules =$ \frac{r}{r} $ As the length of wire get doubled

Therefore strain = 1 Y = strain = 20 ×108 N/ m2
