Physics Elasticity Question 120

Question: The force required to stretch a steel wire of $ 1,cm^{2} $ cross-section to 1.1 times its length would be $ (Y=2\times 10^{11},N{{m}^{-2}}) $

[MP PET 1992]

Options:

A) $ 2\times 10^{6},N $

B) $ 2\times 10^{3},N $

C) $ 2\times {{10}^{-6}}N $

D) $ 2\times {{10}^{-7}},N $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ F=A\times Y\times r $ =$ 1\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 2\times 10^{11}\times 0.1=2\times 10^{6}N $
