To determine the young's modulus of a wire , the formula is ` Y = (F)/( A) . (L)/ ( Delta l)` , where `L` = l ength ,` A` = area of cross - section of the wire , `DeltaL` = change in the length of the wire when streched with a force `F`. Find the conversion factor to change it from CGS t o MKS system.

A

1

B

10

C

0.1

D

0.01

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`Y=(F)/(A).(L)/(triangleL)=(dyn e)/(cm^2)=(10^-5N)/(10^-4m^2)=0.1(N)/(m^2)`
