Physics Elasticity Question 81

Question: On increasing the length by 0.5 mm in a steel wire of length 2 m and area of cross-section $ 2,mm^{2} $ , the force required is

[Y for steel$ =2.2\times 10^{11},N/m^{2}] $ ][MP PET/PMT 1988]

Options:

A) $ 1.1\times 10^{5},N $

B) $ 1.1\times 10^{4},N $

C) $ 1.1\times 10^{3},N $

D) $ 1.1\times 10^{2},N $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ F=\frac{YAl}{L}=\frac{2.2\times 10^{11}\times 2\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 5,\times {{10}^{-4}}}{2} $

$ =1.1\times 10^{2}N $
