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)xx(L)/(Delta L) = ("dyne")/(cm^(2)) = (10^(-5)N)/(10^(-4)m^(2)) = 0.1N//m^(2)`
