A \(100\,m\) long wire having cross-sectional area \(6.25 \times 10^{-4}\,m ^2\) and Young's modulus is \(10^{10}\,Nm ^{-2}\) is subjected to a load of \(250\,N\), then the elongation in the wire will be :

  1. A \(6.25 \times 10^{-3}\,m\)
  2. B \(4 \times 10^{-4}\,m\)
  3. C \(6.25 \times 10^{-6}\,m\)
  4. D \(4 \times 10^{-3}\,m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 \times 10^{-3}\,m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Elongation in wire \(\delta=\frac{ F \ell}{ AY }\) \(\delta=\frac{250 \times 100}{6.25 \times 10^{-4} \times 10^{10}}\) \(\delta=4 \times 10^{-3}\,m\)
