A tension of \(20 \mathrm{~N}\) is applied to a copper wire of cross sectional area \(0.01 \mathrm{~cm}^2\), Young's modulus of copper is \(1.1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\) and Poisson's ratio is 0.32 . The decrease in cross sectional area of the wire is

  1. A \(1.16 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
  2. B \(1.16 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}^2\)
  3. C \(1.16 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\)
  4. D \(1.16 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~cm}^2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.16 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~cm}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\sigma=0.32, F=20 \mathrm{~N}\) \[ A=0.01 \mathrm{~cm}^2=0.01 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \] and \(Y=1-1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\) We know that…
