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

  • question_answer
    An aluminum rod (Young's modulus \[=7\times {{10}^{9}}\,N/{{m}^{2}})\] has a breaking strain of 0.2%. The minimum cross-sectional area of the rod in order to support a load of \[{{10}^{4}}\]Newton's is [MP PMT 1991]

    A)                 \[1\times {{10}^{-2}}\,{{m}^{2}}\]             

    B)                 \[1.4\times {{10}^{-3}}\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)                 \[3.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    D)                             \[7.1\times {{10}^{-4}}\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

        \[Y=\frac{F/A}{\text{strain}}\Rightarrow A=\frac{F}{Y\times \text{strain}}\]= \[\frac{{{10}^{4}}}{7\times {{10}^{9}}\times 0.002}\] = \[\frac{1}{14}\times {{10}^{-2}}\]\[=7.1\times {{10}^{-4}}{{m}^{2}}\]
