The load versus elongation graph for four wires of same length and the same material is shown in figure. The thinnest wire is represented by line

A

$O C$

B

$O D$

C

$O A$

D

$O B$

Solution

(c)

For the same load wire with maximum elongation has minimum cross-section area

As $\frac{F L}{A Y}=\Delta x$

$F, L, Y$ are fixed so $\frac{1}{A} \propto \Delta x$

$\Rightarrow O A$ is the thinnest.
