    A boy ?s catapult is made of rubber cord which is 42 cm long, with 6 mm diameter of cross-section and  The boy keeps a stone weighing 0.02 kg on it and stretches the cord by 20 cm by applying a constant force. When released, the stone flies off with a velocity of \[20\,m{{s}^{-1}}.\] Neglect the change in the area of cross-section of the cord while stretched. The Young's modulus of rubber is closest to:

    A) \[{{10}^{3}}N{{m}^{-2}}\]

    B) \[{{10}^{4}}N{{m}^{-2}}\]

    C) \[{{10}^{6}}N{{m}^{-2}}\]   

    D) \[{{10}^{8}}N{{M}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1}{2}Y{{\left( \frac{\Delta \ell }{\ell } \right)}^{2}}A\ell =\frac{1}{2}m{{V}^{2}}\]          \[\Rightarrow \]            \[y=\frac{m{{V}^{2}}\ell }{A{{(\Delta \ell )}^{2}}}\] \[Y=\frac{(0.02){{(20)}^{2}}(0.42)}{\pi (9\times {{10}^{-6}})(0.2)}\simeq {{10}^{6}}.\]
