When a wire of length 10 m is subjected to a force of 100 N along its length, the lateral strain produced is 0.01 xx 10^(-3) . The Poisson's ratio was found to be 0.4. If the area of cross-section of wire is 0.025 m^2, its Young's modulus is

Answer»

`1.6xx10^8 N m^(-2)`
`2.5xx10^10 N m^(-2)`
`1.25 XX 10^11 N m^(-2)`
`16xx10^9 N m^(-2)`

Solution :Poisson.s ratio = `"Lateral strain"/"LONGITUDINAL strain"`
Longitudinal strain = `"Lateral strain"/"Poisson.s ratio"`
`= (0.01xx10^(-3))/0.4` …(i)
Young.s modulus , `Y="Normal stress"/"Longitudinal strain"` (Using (i))
`Y=F/(AXX((0.01xx10^(-3))/0.4))`
`=(100xx0.4)/(0.025xx0.01xx10^(-3))N m^(-2) = 1.6xx10^8 N m^(-2)`
