As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the load axis. The length of wire is \(62.8\,cm\) and its diameter is \(4\,mm\). The Young's modulus is found to be \(x \times\) \(10^4\,Nm ^{-2}\). The value of \(x\) is

- A \(4\)
- B \(3\)
- C \(2\)
- D \(5\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
From graph: \(F =\Delta L\) \(Y =\frac{ FL }{ A \Delta L }\) \(Y =\frac{ L }{ A }\) \(Y =\frac{62.8 \times 10^{-2}}{\pi\left(2 \times 10^{-3}\right)^2}\) \(Y =5 \times 10^4\,N / m ^2\)
