8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
The ratio of diameters of two wires of same material is $n : 1$. The length of wires are $4\, m$ each. On applying the same load, the increase in length of thin wire will be
A
$n^2\, times$
B
$n\, times$
C
$2n\, times$
D
None of the above
Solution
$1 \propto \frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\mathrm{r}^{2} \mathrm{Y}} \Rightarrow 1 \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}[\mathrm{F}, \mathrm{L} \text { and } \mathrm{Y} \text { are constant }]$
$\frac{1_{2}}{\mathrm{l}_{1}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_{1}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}\right)^{2}=(\mathrm{n})^{2} \Rightarrow 1_{2}=\mathrm{n}^{2} \mathrm{l}_{1}$
