Physics Elasticity Question 104

Question:If a load of 9 kg is suspended on a wire, the increase in length is 4.5 mm. The force constant of the wire is

Options:

A) $ 0.49\times 10^{4},N/m $

B) $ 1.96\times 10^{4},N/m $

C) $ 4.9\times 10^{4},N/m $

D) $ 0.196\times 10^{4},N/m $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ F=Kx\Rightarrow K=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{9\times 9.8}{4.5\times {{10}^{-3}}}=1.96\times 10^{4}N/m $
