8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied ?
A
Length $50\,cm$ and diameter $0.5\,mm$
B
Length $100\,cm$ and diameter $1\,mm$
C
Length $200\,cm$ and diameter $2\,mm$
D
Length $300\,cm$ and diameter $3\,mm$
Solution
$\mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{A}}{\Delta \ell / \ell}$
$F=\mathrm{Ay} \cdot \frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}$
$\Delta \ell=\frac{\mathrm{F} \ell}{\mathrm{Ay}}=\frac{4 \mathrm{F} \ell}{\pi \mathrm{d} 2 \mathrm{y}}$
$\Delta \ell \propto \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{d}^{2}}$
