Question 71: Properties of Matter

Question

A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped at one end. If its other end is pulled by a force $F$, its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force both are reduced to half of their original values keeping original length constant, the increase in length will become:

Accepted Answer

$\begin{aligned}
& Y=\frac{	ext { stress }}{	ext { strain }} \
& Y=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^2}{\ell}}}{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{L}}}
\end{aligned}$
$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{Y} \pi \mathrm{r}^2 	imes \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{L}} \quad 	ext{.... (i)}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Y}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{F} / 2}{\pi \mathrm{r}^2 / 4}}{\frac{\Delta \ell}{\mathrm{L}}} \
& \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{Y} \frac{\Delta \ell}{\mathrm{L}} 	imes 2 	imes \frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^2}{4}
\end{aligned}$
From (i)
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Y} \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{Y} \frac{\Delta \ell}{\mathrm{L}} \frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^2}{2} \
& \Delta \ell=2 \ell
\end{aligned}$
