    A wire of length L and cross-sectional area A is made of a material of Youngs modulus Y. If the wire is stretched by the amount x. The work done is:

    A) \[\frac{YA{{x}^{2}}}{2L}\]

    B)                                        \[\frac{YA{{x}^{2}}}{L}\]                               

    C) \[Ya{{x}^{2}}L\]                

    D)        \[\frac{Yax}{2L}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Energy stored is \[U=\frac{1}{2}\times force\times extesion=\frac{1}{2}Fx\]                        ?(i) and        \[\Upsilon =\frac{F}{A}\frac{L}{x}\]or \[F=\frac{\Upsilon Ax}{L}\]                              ?(ii) From equations (i) and (ii), work done \[=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{\Upsilon Ax}{L} \right)\times x=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Upsilon A{{x}^{2}}}{L}\]
