Physics Elasticity Question 106

Question:Longitudinal stress of $ 1,kg/mm^{2} $ is applied on a wire. The percentage increase in length is $ (Y=10^{11},N/m^{2}) $

Options:

A) 0.002

B) 0.001

C) 0.003

D) 0.01

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Longitudinal strain $ \frac{l}{L}=\frac{r}{Y}=\frac{10^{6}}{10^{11}}={{10}^{-5}} $ Percentage increase in length $ ={{10}^{-5}}\times 100=0.001% $
