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 $l$. Another wire of same material of length $2 L$ and radius $2 r$ is pulled by a force $2 f$. Then the increase in its length will be

A

$2\,l$

B

$l$

C

$4 \ l$

D

$l / 2$

Solution

$\frac{2 f }{\pi(2 r )^2}= Y \frac{\ell^{\prime}}{2 L }$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{1}=\frac{2 \ell^{\prime}}{\ell} \Rightarrow \ell^{\prime}=\ell$
