The Young's modulus of material of wire 11~is twice that of wire 2.2 .~When the wires 11 and 22 of same length are stretched by same force, they produce same extension. If R1{R}_{1} and R2{R}_{2} are the radii of wires 11 and 22 respectively, then

Options

  1. AR1=R22{R}_{1} = \dfrac{R2}{2}
  2. BR1=2R2{R}_{1} = \sqrt{2}{R}_{2}
  3. CR1=R22{R}_{1} = \dfrac{R2}{2}
  4. DR1=4R2{R}_{1} = 4{R}_{2}

Correct answer

A. R1=R22{R}_{1} = \dfrac{R2}{2}

Step-by-step solution

Let us assume,&
Young modulus& \left(1\right) be, ~be,~{Y}_{1}<br/>Youngmodulus (2)<br />Young modulus~ \left(2\right)~be,~Y2{Y}_{2}
Length of wire \left(1\right) be, ~be,~{L}_{1}<br/>Lengthofwire (2)<br />Length of wire~ \left(2\right)~be,~L2{L}_{2}
Force on wire be,~FF
Extension of both wire be~δ1 and δ2{δ}_{1} \text{ and } {δ}_{2}

Given
Young's modulus is,~Y1=2Y2{Y}_{1} = 2{Y}_{2}
Length of both wire is same,~L1=L2=L{L}_{1} = {L}_{2} = L
Radius of~ \left(1\right) be, ~be,~{R}_{1}<br/>Radiusof (2)<br />Radius of~ \left(2\right)~be,~R2{R}_{2}
Forces on both are same.
Extension of both wire be,~δ1=δ2=δ{δ}_{1} = {δ}_{2} = \delta

From Hooke's law, we have~F=AYδLF = \dfrac{AY\delta}{L}
For~ \left(1\right), ,~F = \dfrac{\pi{R1}^{2}{Y}_{1}\delta}{L1} = \dfrac{\pi{R1}^{2} \left(2{Y}_{2}\right)\delta}{L} . . . \left(1\right)<br />For~ \left(2\right), ,~F = \dfrac{\pi{R2}^{2}{Y}_{2}\delta}{L2} = \dfrac{\pi{R2}^{2}{Y}_{2}\delta}{L} . . . \left(2\right)

Equating~ \left(1\right) \text{ and } \left(2\right),wehave<br/>, we have<br />⇒ πR12(2Y2)δL=πR22Y2δL<br/>\dfrac{\pi{R1}^{2}\left(2{Y}_{2}\right)\delta}{L} = \dfrac{\pi{R2}^{2}{Y}_{2}\delta}{L}<br />⇒ {R1}^{2}\left(2{Y}_{2}\right) = {R2}^{2}{Y}_{2}<br/><br />⇒ {2{R}_{1}}^{2} = {R2}^{2}<br/><br />⇒ {R}_{1} = \dfrac{R2}{2}
