The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the effect of adding an additional mass \( M \) to the pendulum's bob on its time period and relate it to the Young's modulus \( Y \) of the wire.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Initial Time Period of the Pendulum**:
The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula:
\[
T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}
\]
where \( L \) is the length of the pendulum and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity.
2. **Adding an Additional Mass**:
When an additional mass \( M \) is added to the bob, the new time period \( T_M \) becomes:
\[
T_M = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}
\]
where \( L' \) is the new effective length of the pendulum after the wire stretches due to the added mass.
3. **Stress and Strain in the Wire**:
The stress \( \sigma \) in the wire due to the additional mass \( M \) is given by:
\[
\sigma = \frac{Mg}{A}
\]
where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire.
The strain \( \epsilon \) experienced by the wire is defined as:
\[
\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}
\]
where \( \Delta L \) is the change in length of the wire.
4. **Relating Stress to Young's Modulus**:
Young's modulus \( Y \) is defined as:
\[
Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{Y}
\]
5. **Change in Length**:
The change in length \( \Delta L \) can be expressed as:
\[
\Delta L = \epsilon L = \frac{\sigma L}{Y} = \frac{MgL}{AY}
\]
6. **New Length of the Pendulum**:
The new length \( L' \) after the extension is:
\[
L' = L + \Delta L = L + \frac{MgL}{AY} = L \left(1 + \frac{Mg}{AY}\right)
\]
7. **New Time Period**:
Substituting \( L' \) into the expression for \( T_M \):
\[
T_M = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L(1 + \frac{Mg}{AY})}{g}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \sqrt{1 + \frac{Mg}{AY}} = T \sqrt{1 + \frac{Mg}{AY}}
\]
8. **Relating the Time Periods**:
We can express the ratio of the new time period to the original time period:
\[
\frac{T_M}{T} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{Mg}{AY}}
\]
9. **Squaring Both Sides**:
Squaring both sides gives:
\[
\left(\frac{T_M}{T}\right)^2 = 1 + \frac{Mg}{AY}
\]
10. **Rearranging for Young's Modulus**:
Rearranging this equation to find \( \frac{1}{Y} \):
\[
\frac{Mg}{AY} = \left(\frac{T_M}{T}\right)^2 - 1
\]
Therefore,
\[
\frac{1}{Y} = \frac{A}{Mg} \left(\left(\frac{T_M}{T}\right)^2 - 1\right)
\]
### Final Result:
Thus, the expression for \( \frac{1}{Y} \) is:
\[
\frac{1}{Y} = \frac{A}{Mg} \left(\left(\frac{T_M}{T}\right)^2 - 1\right)
\]
