A wire of length 1 m and area of cross section `2xx10^(-6)m^(2)` is suspended from the top of a roof at one end and a load of 20 N is applied at the other end. If the length of the wire is increased by `0.5xx10^(-4)m`, calculate its Young’s modulus (in `10^(11)N//m^(2))`.

The correct Answer is:
To calculate Young's modulus for the given wire, we will use the formula: \[ Y = \frac{F \cdot L}{\Delta L \cdot A} \] Where: - \( Y \) = Young's modulus - \( F \) = applied force (load) - \( L \) = original length of the wire - \( \Delta L \) = change in length of the wire - \( A \) = area of cross-section of the wire ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Length of the wire, \( L = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Area of cross-section, \( A = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \) - Load applied, \( F = 20 \, \text{N} \) - Increase in length, \( \Delta L = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the Young's modulus formula Now, substituting the values into the formula: \[ Y = \frac{20 \, \text{N} \cdot 1 \, \text{m}}{0.5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \cdot 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the denominator First, calculate the denominator: \[ \Delta L \cdot A = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \cdot 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 = 1 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}^3 \] ### Step 4: Substitute and simplify Now substitute this back into the equation for \( Y \): \[ Y = \frac{20 \, \text{N}}{1 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}^3} \] \[ Y = 20 \times 10^{10} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Convert to the required units To express \( Y \) in terms of \( 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \): \[ Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the Young's modulus of the wire is: \[ Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2 \]

To calculate Young's modulus for the given wire, we will use the formula: \[ Y = \frac{F \cdot L}{\Delta L \cdot A} \] Where: - \( Y \) = Young's modulus ...
