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 $l$. 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
$l / 2$
(JEE MAIN-2023)
Solution

$\frac{2 f }{\pi(2 r )^2}= Y \frac{\ell^{\prime}}{2 L }$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{1}=\frac{2 \ell^{\prime}}{\ell} \Rightarrow \ell^{\prime}=\ell$
