The correct Answer is:
To find the Young's modulus of the wire given the elongation, cross-sectional area, and tension, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given values - Elongation (strain) = 0.2% = 0.2/100 = 0.002 - Cross-sectional area (A) = \(10^{-4} \, m^2\) - Tension (Force, F) = 1000 N ### Step 2: Write the formula for Young's modulus Young's modulus (Y) is defined as: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} \] Where: - Stress = \(\frac{F}{A}\) - Strain = \(\frac{\Delta L}{L}\) ### Step 3: Calculate the stress Using the formula for stress: \[ \text{Stress} = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{1000 \, N}{10^{-4} \, m^2} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Stress} = 1000 \times 10^4 = 10^7 \, N/m^2 \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the Young's modulus formula Now we substitute the values of stress and strain into the Young's modulus formula: \[ Y = \frac{10^7 \, N/m^2}{0.002} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Young's modulus Calculating this gives: \[ Y = 10^7 \div 0.002 = 10^7 \times 5000 = 5 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the Young's modulus of the wire is: \[ Y = 5 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2 \] ---
