Young's modulus of a wire is 2×1011 N m-2. If an external stretching force of 2×1011 N is applied to a wire of length L, the final length of the wire is (cross-section=unity)

  1. A 2L
  2. B 1.5L
  3. C 3L
  4. D 1.25L
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2L

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Young's modulus of wire =2×1011 Nm-2 Y=stressstrain=FA×L∆L ⇒1=∆LL ⇒1+1=∆LL+1 ⇒2=∆L+LL ⇒∆L+L=2L
