A $5$ metre long wire is fixed to the ceiling. A weight of $10\, kg$ is hung at the lower end and is $1$ metre above the floor. The wire was elongated by $1\, mm$. The energy stored in the wire due to stretching is ......... $ joule$

A

$0$

B

$0.05$

C

$100$

D

$500$

Solution

(b) $W = \frac{1}{2} \times F \times l = \frac{1}{2}mgl$

$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 10 \times 1 \times {10^{ – 1}} = 0.05\;J$
