A particular force FF applied on a wire increases its length by 2×10−3m2 \times {10}^{- 3}m. If we were to increase the wire's length by 4×10−3m4 \times {10}^{- 3}m, then the applied force is nFnF. What is the value of nn?

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

Y=FAlL=F×LA×lY = \dfrac{\dfrac{F}{A}}{\dfrac{l}{L}} = \dfrac{F \times L}{A \times l} [ll = Change in length, LL = Original length] (where YY is Young's modulus of elasticity)

Since YY, LL and AA remain same.
⇒F∝l⇒ F ∝ l
⇒F1F2=l1l2⇒ \dfrac{{F}_{1}}{{F}_{2}} = \dfrac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}}
⇒FF2=2×10−34×10−3⇒ \dfrac{F}{{F}_{2}} = \dfrac{2 \times {10}^{- 3}}{4 \times {10}^{- 3}}

⇒F2=2F⇒F2=nF⇒n=2⇒ {F}_{2} = 2F ⇒ {F}_{2} = nF ⇒ n = 2
