    A wire suspended vertically from one of its ends is stretched by attaching a weight of 200 N to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by 1 mm. Then the elastic energy stored in the wire is

    A)  0.2 J                                     

    B)  10 J

    C)  20 J                       

    D)         0.1 J

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Elastic energy stored in the wire is           \[U=\frac{1}{2}\]stress\[\times \]strain\[\times \]volume                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\frac{F}{A}\times \frac{\Delta L}{L}\times AL\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}F\Delta L\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 200\times 1\times {{10}^{-3}}=0.1\,\,J\]
