Physics Elasticity Question 82

Question: If Young’s modulus of iron is $ 2\times 10^{11},N/m^{2} $ and the interatomic spacing between two molecules is $ 3\times {{10}^{-10}} $ metre, the interatomic force constantis

[JIPMER 1978]

Options:

A) 60 N/m

B) 120 N/m

C) 30 N/m

D) 180 N/m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Interatomic force constant $ K=Y\times r _{0} $

$ =2\times 10^{11}\times 3\times {{10}^{-10}}=60\ N/m $
