Properties of Matter 1 Question 1

1. In an experiment, brass and steel wires of length 1m each with areas of cross-section 1mm2 are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support and other end is subjected to elongation. The stress requires to produce a net elongation of 0.2mm is

[Take, the Young’s modulus for steel and brass are respectively 120×109N/m2 and 60×109N/m2 ]

(2019 Main, 10 April II)

(a) 1.2×106N/m2

(b) 0.2×106N/m2

(c) 1.8×106N/m2

(d) 4.0×106N/m2

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (*)

Solution:

  1. In given experiment, a composite wire is stretched by a force F.

Net elongation in the wire = elongation in brass wire + elongation in steel wire

Now, Young’s modulus of a wire of cross-section (A) when some force (F) is applied, Y=FlAΔl

We have,

Δl= elongation =FlAY

So, from relation (i), we have

As wires are connected in series and they are of same area of cross-section, length and subjected to same force, so

Δlnet =FA(lYbrass +lYsteel )

Here,

Δlnet =0.2mm=0.2×103m and l=1mYbrass =60×109Nm2,Ysteel =120×109Nm2

On putting the values, we have
