The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have a thin steel wire with: - Cross-sectional area \( A = 0.1 \, \text{cm}^2 = 0.1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \) (converting cm² to m²) - Young's modulus \( Y = 200 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Change in length \( \Delta L \) is \( 0.1\% \) of the original length \( L \). ### Step 2: Express Change in Length The change in length \( \Delta L \) can be expressed in terms of the original length \( L \): \[ \frac{\Delta L}{L} = 0.1\% = \frac{0.1}{100} = 0.001 \] Thus, \( \Delta L = 0.001L \). ### Step 3: Use the Formula for Young's Modulus The formula for Young's modulus is given by: \[ Y = \frac{F}{A \cdot \frac{\Delta L}{L}} \] Rearranging this formula to find the force \( F \): \[ F = Y \cdot A \cdot \frac{\Delta L}{L} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Values Substituting the values into the equation: \[ F = (200 \times 10^9) \cdot (0.1 \times 10^{-4}) \cdot (0.001) \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Force Calculating the force step-by-step: 1. Calculate \( A \cdot \Delta L \): \[ A \cdot \Delta L = (0.1 \times 10^{-4}) \cdot (0.001) = 0.1 \times 10^{-7} = 1 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}^2 \] 2. Now substitute back into the force equation: \[ F = 200 \times 10^9 \cdot 1 \times 10^{-8} \] \[ F = 2000 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion The force required to increase the length of the wire by \( 0.1\% \) is indeed \( 2000 \, \text{N} \). Therefore, the assertion is correct.
