A steel rod has a radius of \(20\,mm\) and a length of \(2.0\,m\). A force of \(62.8\,kN\) stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of steel is \(2.0 \times 10^{11}\,N / m ^2\). The longitudinal strain produced in the wire is \(..........\times 10^{-5}\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text {Strain}=\frac{\text { stress }}{Y}=\frac{\frac{62.8 \times 10^3}{\pi \times(0.02)^2}}{2 \times 10^{11}}\)

\(=\frac{62.8 \times 10^3}{3.14 \times 4 \times 10^{-4} \times 2 \times 10^{11}}\)

\(=2.5 \times 10^{-4}\)

\(=25 \times 10^{-5}\)
