Question: Density of rubber is d. A thick rubber cord of length L and cross-section area A undergoes elongation under its own weight on suspending it. This elongation is proportional to

Options:

A) dL

B) Ad/L

C) $ Ad/L^{2} $

D) $ dL^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Increment in length $ l=\frac{L^{2}dg}{2Y} $ \ $ l\propto L^{2}d $
