When a block of mass M is suspended by a long wire of length L, the length of the wire becomes (L+l). The elastic potential energy stored in the extended wire isA. `(1)/(2)MgL`B. `Mgl`C. `MgL`D. `(1)/(2)Mgl`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Strain `=(l)/(L)`, stress `=(Mg)/(A)`
Energy `=(1)/(2)xx"stress"xx"strain"xx"volume"`
`=(1)/(2)xx(Mg)/(A)xx(l)/(L)xxAxxL`
`=(1)/(2)Mgl`
