The elastic potential energy stored in a steel wire of length \(20\,m\) stretched through \(2 \,cm\) is \(80\,J\). The cross sectional area of the wire is \(.........\,mm ^2\) (Given, \(y =2.0 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(38\)
  2. B \(36\)
  3. C \(40\)
  4. D \(34\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy per unit volume \(=\frac{1}{2} \text { stress } \times \text { strain }\) Energy \(=\frac{1}{2} \text { stress } \times \text { strain } \times \text { volume }\) \(80=\frac{1}{2} \times Y \times \text { strain }^2 A \times \ell\)…
