8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $F$, its length increases by $5\,cm$. Another wire of the same material of length $4 L$ and radius $4\,r$ is pulled by a force $4\,F$ under same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is $....cm$.

Solution
$\Delta \ell_{1}=\frac{ F \ell}{ AY }=\frac{ F \ell}{\pi r ^{2} Y }=5\,cm$
$\Delta \ell_{2}=\frac{4 F 4 \ell}{\pi 16 r ^{2} Y }=\frac{ F \ell}{\pi r ^{2} Y }=5\,cm$
