Find the Young's modulus of the wire whose stress-strain curve is as shown in the following figure

  1. A \(8 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(24 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(10 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, stress \(=Y \times\) strain (Under proportional limit) Now Young's modulus, \(Y=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}=\frac{(8-0) \times 10^7}{(4-0) \times 10^{-4}}\) \(=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
