Question

A wire suspended vertically from one of its ends stretched by attaching weight of 200 N to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by 1 mm. Then the elastic energy stored in the wire is

Options

A.0.2 J
B.10 J
C.20 J
D.0.1 J

Solution

The elastic potential energy stored in the wire,
U = × stress × strain × volume
= × Al = Fᐃl = × 200 × 10-3 = 0.1 J
