An elastic string of Length 42 cm and cross section area 10–4 m2 is attached between two pegs at distance 6mm as shown in the figure. A particle of mass m is kept at mid point of string stretched as shown in figure by 20 cm and released. As the string attains natural Length, the particle attains a speed of 20 m/s. Then young modulus Y of string is of order.

a. 108 b. 1012 c. 106 d. 104 Answer: (c) Elastic stream energy × volume = kinetic energy Y = [(0.05 x400 x0.42)/(0.2)2 x... View Article
