Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

If a force of 1000 N is applied normal to the cross-section of a wire with an area of 2 m², what is the magnitude of the stress developed in the wire?

A

500 Pa

B

2000 Pa

C

5000 Pa

D

100 Pa

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Stress is defined as the force applied per unit area. Using the formula stress = F/A, where F is 1000 N and A is 2 m², the stress is 1000 N / 2 m² = 500 Pa.
