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

  • question_answer
    A wire is loaded by 6 kg at its one end, the increase in length is 12 mm. If the radius of the wire is doubled and all other magnitudes are unchanged, then increase in length will be        [MP PMT 1987; AI SSCE 1982]

    A) 6 mm     

    B)                 3 mm

    C)                 24 mm

    D)                             48 mm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        \[l\propto \frac{1}{{{r}^{2}}}\]. If radius of the wire is doubled then increment in length will become \[\frac{1}{4}\] times i.e. \[\frac{12}{4}=3mm\]
