JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

Two wires A and B are made of same material having ratio of lengths \(\frac{L_A}{L_B}=\frac{1}{3}\) and their diameters ratio \(\frac{d_A}{d_B}=2\). If both the wires are stretched using same force, what would be the ratio of their respective elongations?

  1. A \(1: 6\)
  2. B \(1: 12\)
  3. C \(3: 4\)
  4. D \(1: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{B}}}=2\) \(\Delta \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{A}}}\)…
