The force required to stretch a steel wire of area of cross-section \(1 \mathrm{~mm}^2\) to double its length is
(Young's modulus of steel \(=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(2 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(2 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F = Y A \frac{\Delta L}{L}\) \(F = (2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}) \times (1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2) \times (1)\) \(F = 2 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)
