    The stress required to double the length of wire of Young's modulus Y is

    A)  \[\frac{Y}{2}\]              

    B)  \[2Y\]

    C)  \[Y\]              

    D)  \[4\,y\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Young's modulus \[Y=\frac{stress}{strain}\] \[Y=\frac{FL}{Al}\] \[\therefore \] \[Y\propto \frac{1}{l}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{Y}_{1}}}{{{Y}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\] or \[\frac{Y}{{{Y}_{2}}}=\frac{2l}{l}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{Y}_{2}}=\frac{Y}{2}\]
