    The length of a rubber cord is\[{{l}_{1}}\]metre when the tension is 4 N and\[{{l}_{2}}\]metre when the tension is 6 N. The length when the tension is 9 N, is              

    A)  \[(2.5{{l}_{2}}-1.5{{l}_{1}})m\]

    B)  \[(6{{l}_{2}}-1.5{{l}_{1}})m\]

    C)  \[(3{{l}_{2}}-2{{l}_{1}})m\]

    D)  \[(3.5{{l}_{2}}-2.5{{l}_{1}})m\]

    E)  \[(2.5{{l}_{2}}+1.5{{l}_{1}})m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the original unstretched length be\[l.\] \[Y=\frac{Stress}{Strain}=\frac{T/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{T}{A}\times \frac{l}{\Delta l}\] Now\[Y=\frac{4}{A}\frac{l}{({{l}_{1}}-l)}=\frac{6}{A}\frac{l}{({{l}_{2}}-l)}\]                 \[=\frac{9}{A}\frac{l}{({{l}_{3}}-l)}\] \[\therefore \]  \[4({{l}_{3}}-l)=9({{l}_{1}}-l)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4{{l}_{3}}+5l=9{{l}_{1}}\]                           ?.. (i) Again,      \[6({{l}_{3}}-l)=9({{l}_{2}}-l)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{l}_{3}}+l=3{{l}_{2}}\]                                         ...(ii) Solve Eqs. (i) and (ii), we obtain \[{{l}_{3}}=(2.5{{l}_{2}}-1.5{{l}_{1}})\]
