    Increase in length of a wire is 1 mm when suspended by a weight. If the same weight is suspended on a wire of double its length and double its radius, the increase in length will be [CPMT 1976]

    A) 2 mm

    B)                             0.5 mm

    C)                 4 mm     

    D)                 0.25 mm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        \[l=\frac{FL}{AY}\Rightarrow l\propto \frac{L}{{{r}^{2}}}\] (F and Y are same) \\[\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}=\frac{{{L}_{2}}}{{{L}_{1}}}{{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=2\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\]            Þ\[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{2}=\frac{l}{2}=0.5mm.\]
