8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
If $x$ longitudinal strain is produced in a wire of Young's modulus $y,$ then energy stored in the material of the wire per unit volume is
A
$y{x^2}$
B
$2\,y{x^2}$
C
$\frac{1}{2}{y^2}x$
D
$\frac{1}{2}y{x^2}$
(AIIMS-2001)
Solution
(d) Energy stored per unit volume
$ = \frac{1}{2} \times {\rm{Stress}} \times {\rm{Strain}}$
$ = \frac{1}{2} \times {\rm{Young's\, modulus }} \times {{\rm{(Strain)}}^{\rm{2}}} = \frac{1}{2} \times Y \times {x^2}$
