Wave Mechanics Question 530

Question: A wire suspended vertically from one of its ends is stretched by attaching a weight of 200N to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by 1 mm. Then the elastic energy stored in the wire is

Options:

A) 0.2 J

B) 10 J

C) 20 J

D) 0.1 J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Elastic energy $ \frac{1}{2}\times F\times x $

$ F=200N,x=1mm={{10}^{-3}}m $
$ \

Therefore ,E=\frac{1}{2}\times 200\times 1\times {{10}^{-3}}=0.1J $
