    An iron rod of length 2 m and cross-sectional area of 50 mm2 is stretched by 0.5 mm, when a mass of 250 kg is hung from its lower end. Young's modulus of iron rod is

    A) \[19.6\times {{10}^{20}}\text{N}{{\text{m}}^{-2}}\]        

    B) \[19.6\times {{10}^{18}}\text{N}{{\text{m}}^{-2}}\]

    C) \[19.6\times {{10}^{10}}\text{N}{{\text{m}}^{-2}}\]        

    D) \[19.6\times {{10}^{15}}\text{N}{{\text{m}}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Young's modulus of material of the body is \[Y=\frac{\text{longitudial}\,\text{stress}}{\text{longitudinal}\,\text{strain}}=\frac{MgL}{Al}\] Putting the numerical values, we have \[L=2m,A=50m{{m}^{2}}=50\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{2}}\] \[l=0.5mm=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}m,M=250kg\] \[\therefore \]\[Y=\frac{250\times 9.8\times 2}{50\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}}=19.6\times {{10}^{10}}N{{m}^{-2}}\]
