The following four wires of length L and radius r are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension, when the same tension is applied?A. L = 100 cm, r = 0.2 cmB. L = 200 cm, r = 0.4 cmC. L = 300 cm, r = 0.6 cmD. L = 400 cm, r = 0.8 cm |
Answer» Correct Answer - a Extension of wire, `e = (FL)/(AY)` `e = (FL)/(pi r^(2) Y)` F and Y are same for all wire, `:. E prop (L)/(r^(2))` `e_(a) = (100)/(0.2 xx 0.2) = 2500` and `e_(b) = (200)/(0.4 xx 0.4) = 1250` e_(c ) = (300)/(0.6 xx 0.6) = 833.34` and `e_(d) = (400)/(0.8 xx 0.8) = 625` We cansee that, first wire have the largest extension |
