A metal wire

4 \mathrm{m}

long and

2 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m}^{2}

in cross section is stretched by a force of

30 \mathrm{N}

. If the work done in stretching that wire is

4.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{J}

, the young's modulus of the wire is [pa]

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

2 \times 10^{11}

Option A (

2 \times 10^{11}

) is correct because it is calculated using the formula for Young's modulus in terms of work done, force, length, and area.

A wire is stretched under a force. If the wire suddenly snaps the temperature of the wire The increases in length is

l

of a wire of length

L

by the longitudinal stress. Then the stress is proportional to A steel wire of length

l

and cross sectional area

\mathrm{A}

is stretched by

1 \mathrm{~cm}

under a given load. When the same load is applied to another steel wire of double its length and half of its cross section area, the amount of stretching (extension) is Assertion: From the relation

Y=\frac{F l}{A \Delta l},

we can say that, if length of a wire is doubled, its Young's modulus of elasticity will also becomes two times.

Reason: Modulus of elasticity is a material property. A wire can be broken by applying a load of 200 N. The force required to break another wire of the same length and same material, but double in diameter, is Assertion(A): If radius of cylindrical wire is doubled, then this wire can bear four times stress.

Reason(R): By doubling the radius, area of cross-section will become four times.
