JEE Main & Advanced Physics Elasticity Question Bank Youngs Modulus and Breaking Stress

  • question_answer
    A rubber cord 10 m long is suspended vertically. How much does it stretch under its own weight (Density of rubber is\[1500kg/{{m}^{3}},Y=\text{ }5\times {{10}^{8}}N/{{m}^{2}},\text{ }g\text{ }=\text{ }10m/{{s}^{2}}\])   [Pb. PET 2001]

    A)             \[15\times {{10}^{4}}m\]

    B)             \[7.5\times {{10}^{4}}m\]

    C)                      \[12\times {{10}^{4}}m\]

    D)                      \[25\times {{10}^{4}}m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[l=\frac{{{L}^{2}}dg}{2Y}=\frac{{{(10)}^{2}}\times 1500\times 10}{2\times 5\times {{10}^{8}}}=15\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]
