The elongation of a wire on the surface of the earth is \(10^{-4} \; m\). The same wire of same dimensions is elongated by \(6 \times 10^{-5} \; m\) on another planet. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be \(\dots \; ms ^{-2}\). (Take acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth \(=10 \; m / s ^{-2}\) )

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta \ell \propto g\)

\(\frac{\Delta \ell_{\text {earth }}}{\Delta \ell_{\text {planet }}}=\frac{g_{\text {earth }}}{g_{\text {planet }}}=\frac{10^{-4}}{6 \times 10^{-5}}\)

\(g_{planet} = 6 \; m / s ^{-2}\)

Ans. \(6.00\)
