The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the Young's modulus (Y) of a material given that a wire doubles its length when a stress of \( x \, \text{N/m}^2 \) is applied. We will use the relationship defined by Hooke's law, which states that Young's modulus is the ratio of stress to strain. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Stress** (\( \sigma \)): It is defined as the force applied per unit area. In this case, it is given as \( x \, \text{N/m}^2 \). - **Strain** (\( \epsilon \)): It is defined as the change in length divided by the original length. 2. **Calculate the Change in Length**: - Let the original length of the wire be \( l \). - The final length after applying the stress is \( 2l \) (since it doubles). - The change in length (\( \Delta L \)) is given by: \[ \Delta L = \text{Final Length} - \text{Original Length} = 2l - l = l \] 3. **Calculate the Strain**: - Strain (\( \epsilon \)) can be calculated as: \[ \epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{l} = \frac{l}{l} = 1 \] 4. **Calculate the Young's Modulus**: - Young's modulus (\( Y \)) is defined as: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon} \] - Substituting the values we have: \[ Y = \frac{x}{1} = x \, \text{N/m}^2 \] 5. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the value of Young's modulus for the material of the wire is: \[ Y = x \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Summary: The Young's modulus of the material of the wire is \( x \, \text{N/m}^2 \).
