A wire of length L , area of cross section A is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to L 1 when mass M is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is:
Options
- AM g L 1 − L A L
- BM g L A L 1
- CM g L A L 1 − L
- DM g L 1 A L
Correct answer
C. M g L A L 1 − L
Step-by-step solution
We know that, Young's modulus, Y = F L A Δ L Given, F = Weight of suspended body= M g and ∆ L = L 1 - L . So, we can write Y = M g L A L 1 - L
