Q.

A 100 m long wire having cross-sectional area 6.25×10-4 m2 and Young's modulus is 1010 Nm-2 is subjected to a load of 250 N. Then the elongation in the wire will be:     [2023]

1 6.25×10-3 m  
2 4×10-3 m  
3 4×10-4 m  
4 6.25×10-6 m  

Ans.

(2)

Elongation in wire δ=FlAY

δ=250×1006.25×10-4×1010=4×10-3 m
