    If in a wire of Youngs modulus\[Y\], longitudinal strain \[X\] is produced. Then the potential energy stored in its unit volume is

    A) \[0.5\,\,Y{{X}^{2}}\]                       

    B) \[0.5\,\,{{Y}^{2}}X\]

    C) \[Y{{X}^{2}}\]                                    

    D) \[2\,\,Y{{X}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Youngs modulus\[=Y\] Bulk modulus\[~=X\] The potential energy \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \]stress\[\times \]strain \[=\frac{1}{2}\times (Y\times \text{strain})\times \text{strain}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}(Y\times X)\times X=\frac{1}{2}Y{{X}^{2}}=0.5Y{{X}^{2}}\]
