  • question_answer
    Two wires A and B are of the same material. Their lengths are in the ratio \[1:2\] and the diameter are in the ratio\[2 :1\]. If they are pulled by the same force, then increase in length will be in the ratio of

    A) \[2:1\]               

    B)        \[1:4\]

    C) \[1:8\]   

    D)        \[8:1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that Young?s modulus \[Y=\frac{F}{\pi {{r}^{2}}}\times \frac{L}{{{\ell }^{2}}}\] Since Y, F are same for both the wires, we have, \[\frac{1}{r_{1}^{2}}\frac{{{L}_{1}}}{{{\ell }_{1}}}=\frac{1}{r_{2}^{2}}\frac{{{L}_{2}}}{{{\ell }_{2}}}\] \[\frac{{{\ell }_{1}}}{{{\ell }_{2}}}=\frac{r_{2}^{2}\times {{L}_{1}}}{r_{1}^{2}\times {{L}_{2}}}=\frac{{{({{D}_{2}}/2)}^{2}}\times {{L}_{1}}}{({{D}_{1}}/{{2}^{2}})\times {{L}_{2}}}\] \[\frac{{{\ell }_{1}}}{{{\ell }_{2}}}=\frac{D_{2}^{2}\times {{L}_{1}}}{D_{1}^{2}\times {{L}_{2}}}=\frac{D_{2}^{2}}{{{\left( 2{{D}_{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\times \frac{{{L}_{2}}}{2{{L}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{8}\] \[{{\ell }_{1}}:{{\ell }_{2}}=1:8\]
