    A wire of length \[L\] and radius \[r\] fixed at one end and a force \[F\] applied to the other end produces an extension\[l\]. The extension produced in another wire of the same material of length \[2L\] and radius \[2r\] by a force\[2F\], is

    A) \[l\]                                       

    B) \[2l\]

    C)  \[4l\]                                   

    D)  \[\frac{l}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When strain is small, the ratio of the longitudinal stress to the. Corresponding longitudinal strain is called the Young's modulus (Y) of the material of the body.                 \[Y=\frac{stress}{strain}=\frac{F/A}{l/L}\] where, \[F\]is force, \[A\] the area, \[l\] the change in length and L the original length.                 \[Y=\frac{FL}{\pi {{r}^{2}}l}\] \[r\]being radius of the wire. Given,\[{{r}_{2}}=2{{r}_{1}},\,\,{{L}_{2}}=2{{L}_{1}},\,\,{{F}_{2}}=2{{F}_{1}}\] Since, Young's modulus is a property, of material, we have                 \[{{Y}_{1}}={{Y}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{F}_{1}}{{L}_{1}}}{\pi _{1}^{2}{{l}_{1}}}=\frac{2{{F}_{1}}\times 2{{L}_{1}}}{\pi {{(2{{r}_{1}})}^{2}}{{l}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{l}_{2}}={{l}_{1}}=l\] Hence, extension produced is same as that in the other wire.
