8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium

The length of a wire is $1.0\, m$ and the area of cross-section is $1.0 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,c{m^2}$. If the work done for increase in length by $0.2\, cm$ is $0.4\, joule$, then Young's modulus of the material of the wire is

A

$2.0 \times {10^{10}}\,N/{m^2}$

B

$4 \times {10^{10}}\,N/{m^2}$

C

$2.0 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$

D

$2 \times {10^{10}}\,N/{m^2}$

Solution

(c) $W = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{YA{l^2}}}{L}$ $⇒$ $0.4 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{Y \times {1^{ – 6}} \times {{(0.2 \times {{10}^{ – 2}})}^2}}}{1}$

$ Y$$ = 2 \times {10^{11}}N/{m^2}$
