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