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 \(\Delta L =\frac{ T _2 L }{ Ay }\)
\(\Delta L =\frac{31.4 \times 1.6}{\pi\left(0.2 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2 \times 2 \times 10^{11}}\)
\(\Delta L =\frac{16}{2 \times 4 \times 10^{-5} \times 10^{11}}\)
\(=2 \times 10^{-5}\,m\)
\(=20 \times 10^{-6}\,m\)

- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: An object moves from position \( r_{1} \) to position \( r_{2} \) under a conservative force field \( \vec{F} \). The work done by the force is \( W=-\int_{r_{1}}^{r_{2}}\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{r} \).
Statement II Any object moving from one location to another location can follow infinite number of paths. Therefore, the amount of work done by the object changes with the path it follows for a conservative force.
