Two copper wires A and B of lengths in the ratio 1: 2 and diameters in the ratio 3: 2 are stretched by forces in the ratio 3: 1 . The ratio of the elastic potential energies stored per unit volume in the wires A and B is
Options
- A2: 1
- B4: 9
- C16: 9
- D4: 3
Correct answer
C. 16: 9
Step-by-step solution
l₁: l₂=1: 2, d₁: d₂=3: 2, ~F ₁: F ₂=3: 1 The elastic potential energy per unit volume is aligned & U= ^2 2 y U ^2 & U₁ U₂ = ( F₁ d₁^2 )^2 ( ~d ₂^2 F₂ )^2= ( 3 1 )^2 ( 2 3 )^4= 16 9 =16: 9 aligned
