The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?

A

(a) length=50cm, diameter=0.5mm

B

(b) length=100cm, diameter=1mm

C

(c) length=200cm, diameter=2mm

D

(d) length=300cm, diameter=3mm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Y=(T//A)/(Deltal//l)impliesDeltal=(Txxl)/(AxxY)=T/Yxxl/A`
Here, `T/Y` is constant. Therefore, `Deltalpropl/A`.
`l/A` is largest in the first case.
