STANDARD Physics Elasticity MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A wire of length L and radius r is clamped at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force F, the increase in its length is L. If another wire of same material but of length 2L and radius 2r is stretched with a force 2F, the increase in its length will be
A
L/4
B
L/2
C
L
D
2L
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Using the formula for elongation ΔL = FL/AY, where A is the cross-sectional area and Y is Young's modulus, the increase in length for the second wire is calculated as L/2.
