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

  • question_answer
    A and B are two wires. The radius of A is twice that of B. They are stretched by the some load. Then the stress on B is [MP PMT 1993]

    A) Equal to that on A

    B)                 Four times that on A

    C)                 Two times that on A             

    D)                 Half that on A

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        \[\text{Stress}=\frac{\text{force}}{\text{Area}}\]\ \[\text{Stress}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\pi {{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}\]             \[\frac{{{S}_{B}}}{{{S}_{A}}}={{\left( \frac{{{r}_{A}}}{{{r}_{B}}} \right)}^{2}}={{(2)}^{2}}\Rightarrow {{S}_{B}}=4{{S}_{A}}\]
