8.Mechanical Properties of Solids

The load versus strain graph for four wires of the same material is shown in the figure. The thickest wire is represented by the line

A
$OB$
B
$OA$
C
$OD$
D
$OC$
Solution
If $\mathrm{F}, \mathrm{L}, \mathrm{Y}$ are constant then $\ell \propto(1 / \mathrm{A})$
i.e. $\ell \propto\left(1 / r^{2}\right)$
i.e. for same load, thickest wire (radius is more) will show minimum elongation.
From the graph, minimum elongation is shown by graph $OD.$
Hence OD must be thickness wire's graph.
