Four wires of the same material are stretched by the same load. Which one of them will elongate most if their dimensions are as followsA. L = 100 cm, r = 1 mmB. L = 200 cm, r = 3 mmC. L = 300 cm, r = 3 mmD. L = 400 cm, r = 4 mm |
Answer» Correct Answer - a `Delta L = (FL)/(AY)` Because, wires of the same material are stretched by the same load. So, F and Y will be constant `:. Delta L prop (L)/(pi r^(2))` `:. Delta L_(1) = (100)/(pi xx (1 xx 10^(-3))^(2)) = (100)/(pi xx 10^(-6)) = (100)/(pi) xx 10^(-6)` `:. Delta L_(2) = (200)/(pi xx (3 xx 10^(-3))^(2)) = (200)/(pi xx 9 xx 10^(-6)) = (22.2)/(pi) xx 10^(6)` `:. Delta L_(3) = (300)/(pi xx (3 xx 10^(-3))^(2)) = (300)/(pi xx 9 xx 10^(-6)) = (33.3)/(pi) xx 10^(6)` `:. Delta L_(4) = (400)/(pi xx (4 xx 10^(-3))^(2)) = (400)/(pi xx 16 xx 10^(-6)) = (25)/(pi) xx 10^(6)` We can see that, L = 100 cm and r = 1 mm will elongate most. |
