    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                 \[=\frac{force\text{ (}weight\text{ }suspended)}{area}\]                 \[=\frac{Mg}{A}\] longitudinal strain \[=\frac{increase\text{ }in\text{ }length}{original\text{ }length}\] Youngs modulus of material of the body is                 \[Y=\frac{longitudinal\text{ }stress}{longitudinal\text{ }strain}=\frac{MgL}{Al}\] Putting the numerical values, we have \[L=2\,m,\,A=50\,m{{m}^{2}}=50\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{2}}\] \[l=0.5\,mm=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}m,\,\,M=250\,kg\] \[\therefore \] \[Y=\frac{250\times 9.8\times 2}{50\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=19.6\times {{10}^{10}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]
