8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
easy

A wire suspended vertically from one end is stretched by attaching a weight $200 \,N$ to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by $1 \,mm$. The elastic potential energy gained by the wire is ....... $J$

A

$0.1$

B

$0.2$

C

$0.4$

D

$10$

Solution

(a)

Elastic potential energy $=\frac{1}{2} \times$ force $\times$ elongation

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 200 \times \frac{1}{1000}=0.1 \,J$
