    A work of\[2\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]is done on a wire of length 50 cm and area of cross-section\[0.5\text{ }m{{m}^{2}}\]. If the Youngs modulus of the material of the wire is\[2\times {{10}^{10}}N{{m}^{-2}},\] then the wire must be:

    A)  elongated to 50.1414 cm

    B)  contracted by 2.0 mm

    C)  stretched by 0.707 mm

    D)  of length changed to 49.293 cm

    E)  of length changed to 50.2 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The work done by wire is stored as potential energy in the wire \[U=\frac{1}{2}\,\times \] youngs modulus \[\times \,{{(strain)}^{2}}\] Given,   \[y=2\times {{10}^{10}}N{{m}^{-2}},\] Strain, \[\frac{l}{L}=\frac{l}{50\times {{10}^{-2}}},\] \[U=2\times {{10}^{-2}}J\] \[\therefore \] \[2\times {{10}^{-2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times {{10}^{10}}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{50\times {{10}^{-2}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[l\approx 0.707\,mm\] (stretched)
