Young's Modulus & Elongation

A wire of length L, area of cross section A is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changed to L1 when mass M is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Stress =MgA= \frac{Mg}{A}, strain =L1−LL= \frac{L_1 - L}{L}
  2. Y=stressstrain=MgLA(L1−L)Y = \frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \frac{MgL}{A(L_1 - L)}
  3. So the answer is (c).
