Question
Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire 1 has crosssectional area A and wire-2 has cross-sectional area 3A. If the length of wire 1 increases by ᐃx on applying force F, how much force is needed to stretch wire 2 by the same amount?
Options
A.F
B.4F
C.6F
D.9F
Solution
A1 l1 = A2 l2 ⇒ l2 = 
ᐃx1 =
.....(i)
ᐃx2 =
.....(ii)
Here ᐃx1 = ᐃx2
F2 = 3F1 ×
= 3F1 × 3 = 9F
ᐃx1 =
.....(i)ᐃx2 =
.....(ii)Here ᐃx1 = ᐃx2
F2 = 3F1 ×
= 3F1 × 3 = 9FCreate a free account to view solution
