    A wire is stretched by 1 mm by a force of 1 kN. The work done in stretching the wire is :

    A)  5 erg           

    B)  5 J

    C)  0.5 erg         

    D)  0.5 J

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Work done by force F in stretching the wire through distance x is,                 \[W=\frac{1}{2}\,Fx\] Given,   \[F=1\,kN=1000\,N\],                 \[x=1\,mm=1\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] \[\therefore \] \[W=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times 1\times {{10}^{-3}}=0.5\,J\]
