Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of \(200 \mathrm{~N}\) on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of wire is \(1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\). Original length of the wire is \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) and the area of cross section is \(2 \mathrm{~cm}^2\). The wire will extend in length by _______ \(\mu \mathrm{m}\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{Y} \frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \Rightarrow \Delta \ell=\frac{\mathrm{F} \ell}{\mathrm{AY}}\)

\(\Delta \ell=\frac{200 \times 2}{2 \times 10^{-4} \times 10^{11}}=2 \times 10^{-5}=20 \mu\)
