The following four wires are made of same material. Which one will have the largest elongation when subjected to the same tension ?

A

Length $500\,cm,$ diameter $0.05\,mm$

B

Length $200\,cm,$ diameter $0.02\,mm$

C

Length $300\,cm,$ diameter $0.03\,mm$

D

Length $400\,cm,$ diameter $0.01\,mm$

Solution

$F=\frac{Y_{\mathrm{A}} \Delta L}{\mathrm{L}}$

or $\Delta \mathrm{L}=\frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\mathrm{AY}}\left\{\mathrm{A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^{2}\right\}$

$\Rightarrow$ More $L/A,$ more elongation
