Two wires each of radius \(0.2\,cm\) and negligible mass, one made of steel and other made of brass are loaded as shown in the figure. The elongation of the steel wire is \(.........\times 10^{-6}\,m\). [Young's modulus for steel \(=2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}\) and \(g =10\,ms ^{-2}\) ]

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tension in steel wire \(\quad T _2=2 g + T _1\)

\(T _2=20+11.4\)

\(=31.4\,N\)

Elongation in steel wire \(\Delta L =\frac{ T _2 L }{ Ay }\)

\(\Delta L =\frac{31.4 \times 1.6}{\pi\left(0.2 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2 \times 2 \times 10^{11}}\)

\(\Delta L =\frac{16}{2 \times 4 \times 10^{-5} \times 10^{11}}\)

\(=2 \times 10^{-5}\,m\)

\(=20 \times 10^{-6}\,m\)
