8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium

A wire of cross section $4 \;mm^2$ is stretched by $0.1\, mm$ by a certain weight. How far (length) will be wire of same material and length but of area $8 \;mm^2$ stretch under the action of same force......... $mm$

A

$0.05$

B

$0.10$

C

$0.15$

D

$0.20$

Solution

(a) $l = \frac{{FL}}{{AY}}$

$l \propto \frac{1}{A}$                   $(F,L$ and $Y$ are constant$)$

$\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}} = \frac{{{A_1}}}{{{A_2}}} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$$ \Rightarrow {l_2} = \frac{{{l_1}}}{2} = \frac{{0.1}}{2} = 0.05mm$
