Figure represents the extension (\(\Delta l\)) of a wire of length \(1\) meter, suspended from the ceiling of the room at one end with a load \(W\) connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is \(10^{-5}\) m\(^2\) then the Young's modulus of the wire is __________ N/m\(^2\).

  1. A \(1.0 \times 10^{11}\)
  2. B \(2.0 \times 10^{10}\)
  3. C \(1.0 \times 10^{10}\)
  4. D \(2.0 \times 10^{11}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.0 \times 10^{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the given graph, we can observe that for a load \(W = 20\) N, the extension is \(\Delta l = 2 \times 10^{-4}\) m. The formula for Young's modulus \(Y\) is: \(Y = \dfrac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \dfrac{W / A}{\Delta l / L} = \dfrac{W L}{A \Delta l}\) Given: Length of…
