In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus, steel wires of five different lengths (1,2,3,4and51, 2, 3, 4 and 5) but of same cross-section (2mm2)\left(2{mm}^{2}\right) were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope (extension/load) of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is x×1011Nm−2x \times {10}^{11}N{m}^{- 2}, then the value of xx is _____ .

Correct answer

A. 2

Step-by-step solution

We know that, Young's modulus is Y=FLA∆LY = \dfrac{FL}{A ∆ L}, where, FF is force or load acting on wire, AA is cross-section area, LL is length and ∆L∆ L is extension in length.

Now, from given graph, the slope of the line is =\DeltaLWL=\DeltaLLW=1YA= \dfrac{\dfrac{\DeltaL}{W}}{L} = \dfrac{\dfrac{\DeltaL}{L}}{W} = \dfrac{1}{YA}

⇒Y=1(slope)A⇒ Y = \dfrac{1}{\left(slope\right)A}

Thus, Young's modulus of the steel wires is Y=12×10−6(0.25×10−5)Y = \dfrac{1}{2 \times {10}^{- 6}\left(0 . 25 \times {10}^{- 5}\right)}

⇒Y=2×1011Nm−2⇒ Y = 2 \times {10}^{11}N{m}^{- 2}.

Therefore, x=2x = 2.
