JEE Main & Advanced Physics Elasticity Question Bank Youngs Modulus and Breaking Stress

  • question_answer
    In CGS system, the Young's modulus of a steel wire is \[2\times {{10}^{12}}\]. To double the length of a wire of unit cross-section area, the force required is                                              [MP PMT 1989]

    A)                 \[4\times {{10}^{6}}\]dynes

    B)                             \[2\times {{10}^{12}}\]dynes

    C)                 \[2\times {{10}^{12}}\]newtons

    D)                             \[2\times {{10}^{8}}\]dynes

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

         To double the length of wire, Stress = Young's modulus \                     \[\frac{F}{A}=2\times {{10}^{12}}\frac{dyne}{c{{m}^{2}}}.\] If A = 1 then F = 2 × 1012 dyne
