NEET · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

A wire of length \(L,\) area of cross section \(A\) is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to \(L_{1}\) when mass \(M\) is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is 

  1. A \(\frac{ MgL }{ A \left( L _{1}- L \right)}\)
  2. B \(\frac{ MgL _{1}}{ AL }\)
  3. C \(\frac{ Mg \left( L _{1}- L \right)}{ AL }\)
  4. D \(\frac{ MgL }{ AL _{1}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{ MgL }{ A \left( L _{1}- L \right)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Y=\frac{F L }{A \Delta L}=\frac{M g L}{A\left(L_{1}-L\right)}\)
