Options:
A) 8
B) 4
C) 2
D) 1
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ l=\frac{FL}{\pi r^{2}r} $
Therefore $ l\propto \frac{F}{r^{2}} $ (Y and L are constant) $ \frac{l _{2}}{l _{1}}=\frac{F _{2}}{F _{1}}\times {{\left( \frac{r _{1}}{r _{2}} \right)}^{2}}=2\times {{(2)}^{2}}=8 $ \ $ l _{2}=8l _{1}=8\times 1=8mm $
