    An iron wire of length 4 m and diameter 2 mm is loaded with a mass of 8 kg. If the Youngs modulus Y for iron is \[2~\times {{10}^{11}}N/{{m}^{2}},\] then the increase in the length of the wire is:

    A)  0.2 mm                               

    B)  0.5 mm

    C)  2 mm                                   

    D)  1 mm   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Youngs modulus is given as             \[Y=\frac{F}{A}\times \frac{L}{\Delta L}=\frac{mgL}{\pi {{r}^{2}}\times \Delta L}\]                                             ?(i) Given: Length of wire L = 4 m Diameter of wire \[=2\,mm=2\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] So, radius of wire \[r=1\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] Youngs modulus \[\gamma =2\times {{10}^{11}}N/{{m}^{2}}\] Weight loaded on the wire m = 8 kg Putting the given value in Eq. (1), we get  \[2\times {{10}^{11}}=\frac{8\times 9.8\times 4}{3.14\times {{(1\times {{10}^{-3}})}^{2}}\times \Delta L}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Delta L=\frac{8\times 9.8\times 4}{3.14\times {{(1\times {{10}^{-3}})}^{2}}\times 2\times {{10}^{11}}}\] \[=44.9\times {{10}^{-5}}=50\times {{10}^{-5}}=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] \[=0.5\,mm\]
