    An iron rod of length 2 m and cross-sectional area of \[50\,m{{m}^{2}}\] is stretched by 0.5 mm, when a mass of 250 kg is hung from its lower end. Youngs modulus of iron rod is:

    A)  \[19.6\,\times {{10}^{20}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]                 

    B)  \[19.6\,\times {{10}^{18}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[19.6\,\times {{10}^{10}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    D)             \[19.6\,\times {{10}^{15}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Ratio of stress to strain is constant for the material of the given body and is the Youngs modulus. Let the length of wire be L and weight Mg is applied to the other end. Within elastic limit Longitudinal stress \[\text{=}\frac{\text{force}\,\text{(weight}\,\text{suspended)}}{\text{area}}\] \[=\frac{\Mu g}{A}\] Longitudinal strain \[=\frac{\text{increase}\,\text{in}\,\text{length}}{\text{original}\,\text{length}}\] Youngs modulus of material of the body is \[\text{Y}\,\text{=}\,\,\frac{\text{longitudinal}\,\text{stress}}{\text{longitudinal}\,\text{strain}}\,\,\text{=}\,\,\frac{\text{MgL}}{\text{Al}}\] Putting the numerical values, we have                 \[L=2m,A=560\,m{{m}^{2}}=50\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{2}}\]                 \[l=0.5\,mm=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}m,\,M=250\,kg\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[Y=\frac{250\times 9.8\times 2}{50\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=19.6\times {{10}^{10}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]
