Question: The length of an elastic string is metre when the longitudinal tension is 4 N and metre when the longitudinal tension is 5 N. The length of the string in metre when the longitudinal tension is 9 N is
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Let L be the original length of the wire and K be the force constant of wire. Final length = initial length + Elongation
For first condition (i) For second condition (ii) By solving equations (i) and (ii), we get and Now when the longitudinal tension is 9 N, length of the string
