A wire of length \(L\) and radius \(r\) is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force \(f\), its length increases by \(l\). Another wire of same material of length \(2 L\) and radius \(2 r\) is pulled by a force \(2 f\). Then the increase in its length will be

  1. A \(2\,l\)
  2. B \(l\)
  3. C \(4 \ l\)
  4. D \(l / 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(l\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{2 f }{\pi(2 r )^2}= Y \frac{\ell^{\prime}}{2 L }\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{2}{1}=\frac{2 \ell^{\prime}}{\ell} \Rightarrow \ell^{\prime}=\ell\)
