A wire of length LL and radius rr is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a forceff, its length increases by ll. Another wire of same material of length 2L2L and radius 2r2r is pulled by a force 2f2f. Then the increase in its length will be:

Options

  1. A4l4l
  2. Bl2\dfrac{l}{2}
  3. C2l2l
  4. Dll

Correct answer

D. ll

Step-by-step solution

Young's modulus is same for both the wires since the material is same.

For the first wire,

Y=fLπr2l...(i)Y = \dfrac{fL}{\pi{r}^{2}l} . . . ( i )

For the second wire,

Y=2f(2L)4πr2l′...(ii)Y = \dfrac{2f ( 2L )}{4\pi{r}^{2}l '} . . . ( ii )

Dividing (i) by (ii)

fLπr2l×4πr2l′4fL=1⇒l′=l\dfrac{fL}{\pi{r}^{2}l} \times \dfrac{4\pi{r}^{2}l '}{4fL} = 1 ⇒ l ' = l
