A steel wire of length \(4.7 \mathrm{~m}\) and cross-sectional area \(3.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length \(3.5 \mathrm{~m}\) and cross-sectional area of \(4.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) under a given load. What is the ratio of Young's modulus of steel to that of copper?
- A \(1.8: 1\)
- B \(2.8: 1\)
- C \(3.8: 1\)
- D \(4.8: 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(1.8: 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, for stoul wire, Area, \(A_{1}=3 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}^{\text {g }}\) Length, \(L_{1}=4.7 \mathrm{~m}\) For copper wire, \[ A_{2}=4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}^{2}, L_{2}=3.5 \mathrm{~m} \] If \(\gamma_{1}\) ynd \(\gamma_{2}\) be the Young's modulus for the material…
