    The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?

    A)  Length = 50 cm, diameter = 0.5 mm  

    B)  Length = 100 cm, diameter = 1 mm

    C)  Length = 200 cm, diameter = 2 mm

    D)  Length = 300 cm, diameter = 3 mm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[Y=\frac{T/A}{\Delta l/l}\Delta l=\frac{T\times l}{A\times Y}=\frac{T}{Y}\times \frac{l}{A}\] Hence, \[\frac{T}{Y}\] is constant. Therefore, \[\Delta l=\frac{l}{A}\] \[\frac{l}{A}\] is largest in the first case.
