A wire of length \(L\) is hanging from a fixed support. The length changes to \(L _{1}\) and \(L _{2}\) when masses \(1 \,kg\) and \(2 \,kg\) are suspended respectively from its free end. Then the value of \(L\) is equal to ..................
- A \(\sqrt{ L _{1} L _{2}}\)
- B \(\frac{ L _{1}+ L _{2}}{2}\)
- C \(2 L _{1}- L _{2}\)
- D \(3 L_{1}-2 L_{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(2 L _{1}- L _{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
By Hooke's Law so \(F \alpha \Delta L\) \(\frac{ F _{1}}{ F _{2}}=\frac{\Delta L _{1}}{\Delta L _{2}}\) \(\frac{10}{20}=\frac{\left(L_{1}-L\right)}{\left(L_{2}-L\right)}\) \(L =2 L _{1}- L _{2}\)
