The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the relationship between elongation (change in length) of a wire, the force applied, the original length of the wire, and Young's modulus. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Condition**: When a mass \( m \) is suspended from a wire of original length \( L \), the change in length (elongation) of the wire is given as \( \Delta L_1 \). 2. **Using the Formula for Elongation**: The elongation \( \Delta L \) of a wire can be expressed using the formula: \[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} \] where: - \( F \) is the force applied (which is equal to the weight of the mass, \( mg \)), - \( L \) is the original length of the wire, - \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire, - \( Y \) is Young's modulus of the material. 3. **Substituting the Force**: For the initial case, the force \( F = mg \), so we can rewrite the elongation as: \[ \Delta L_1 = \frac{mg \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} \] 4. **Changing the Length of the Wire**: Now, the wire is stretched to double its original length, so the new length \( L_2 = 2L \). 5. **Calculating the New Elongation**: The new elongation \( \Delta L_2 \) when the same mass \( m \) is suspended from the wire of length \( L_2 \) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta L_2 = \frac{mg \cdot L_2}{A \cdot Y} \] Substituting \( L_2 = 2L \): \[ \Delta L_2 = \frac{mg \cdot (2L)}{A \cdot Y} = 2 \cdot \frac{mg \cdot L}{A \cdot Y} = 2 \Delta L_1 \] 6. **Considering the Proportional Limit**: Since the elongation is within the proportional limit, we can use the relationship between elongation and length. The elongation is proportional to the square of the length: \[ \frac{\Delta L_2}{\Delta L_1} = \left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^2 \] Here, \( L_2 = 2L \) and \( L_1 = L \), hence: \[ \frac{\Delta L_2}{\Delta L_1} = \left(\frac{2L}{L}\right)^2 = 4 \] Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \Delta L_2 = 4 \Delta L_1 \] ### Final Answer: The change in length when the wire is stretched to double its length and the same mass is suspended from it will become \( 4 \Delta L_1 \). ---
