8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
The Young's modulus of a rubber string $8\, cm$ long and density $1.5\,kg/{m^3}$ is $5 \times {10^8}\,N/{m^2}$, is suspended on the ceiling in a room. The increase in length due to its own weight will be
A
$9.6 \times {10^{ - 5}}\,m$
B
$9.6 \times {10^{ - 11}}\,m$
C
$9.6 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,m$
D
$9.6\, m$
(AIIMS-1986)
Solution
(b)$l = \frac{{{L^2}dg}}{{2Y}} = \frac{{{{(8 \times {{10}^{ – 2}})}^2} \times 1.5 \times 9.8}}{{2 \times 5 \times {{10}^8}}}$
$ = 9.6 \times {10^{ – 11}}m$
