8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
A fixed volume of iron is drawn into a wire of length $L.$ The extension $x$ produced in this wire by a constant force $F$ is proportional to
A
$\frac{1}{{{L^2}}}$
B
$\frac{1}{L}$
C
${L^2}$
D
$L$
Solution
(c) $l = \frac{{FL}}{{AY}} = \frac{{F{L^2}}}{{(AL)Y}} = \frac{{F{L^2}}}{{VY}}$.
If volume is fixed then $l \propto {L^2}$
