Properties of Matter 1 Question 3

3. Young’s moduli of two wires A and B are in the ratio 7:4. Wire A is 2m long and has radius R. Wire B is 1.5m long and has radius 2mm. If the two wires stretch by the same length for a given load, then the value of R is close to

(a) 1.3mm

(b) 1.5mm

(c) 1.9mm

(d) 1.7mm

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (d)

Solution:

  1. When a wire is stretched, then change in length of wire is Δl=Flπr2Y, where Y is its Young’s modulus.

Here, for wires A and B,

lA=2m,lB=1.5mYAYB=74,rB=2mm=2×103m and FAFB=1

As, it is given that ΔlA=ΔlB

FAlAπrA2YA=FBlBπrB2YB

rA2=FAFBlAlBYBYArB2

=1×21.5×47×4×106m=3.04×106m

or rA=1.7×103m

or rA=1.7mm
