Q.

A steel rod has a radius of 20 mm and a length of 2.0 m. A force of 62.8 kN stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of steel is 2.0×1011N/m2. The longitudinal strain produced in the wire is __________ ×10-5.             [2023]

Strain=stressY=62.8×103π×(0.02)22×1011

              =62.8×1033.14×4×10-4×2×1011=2.5×10-4=25×10-5
