The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of a material are respectively Y and \(\sigma\). The force required to decrease the area of cross-section of a wire made of this material by \(\Delta \mathrm{A}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{Y} \Delta \mathrm{A}}{4 \sigma}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \mathrm{Y} \Delta \mathrm{A}}{\sigma}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{Y} \Delta \mathrm{A}}{2 \sigma}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{Y} \Delta \mathrm{A}}{\sigma}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{Y} \Delta \mathrm{A}}{2 \sigma}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{A}} = 2 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}\) \(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}} = \sigma \frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}}\) \(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}} = \frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{YA}}\)…
