Q.

The maximum elongation of a steel wire of 1 m length if the elastic limit of steel and its Young's modulus, respectively, are 8×108N m-2 and 2×1011N m-2, is     [2024]
 

1 4 mm  
2 0.4 mm  
3 40 mm  
4 8 mm

Here, l=1 m

Young’s modulus =2×1011N m-2 and Stress =8×108N m-2

Δl=StressY×l=8×1082×1011×1=4×10-3=4 mm
