A cable is cut to half of its original length. What will be the effect on the increase in its length under a given load ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since `Delta l prop l _(i),` The change in length is directly proportional to the original length. The original length is halved the increase in length will be reduced to half.

A: Two wire A and B having equal cross sections made from the same material. The length of A is twice to the length of B, hence the increase in length of A is twice to the increase in length of B for a given same weight. R: Increase in length of wire proportional to its length for a given same length.
