Question

# If work done in stretching a wire by 1 mm is 2J. Then the work necessary for stretching another wire of same material but with double the radius and half the length by 1 mm in joule is

A
1/4
B
4
C
8
D
16

Solution

## The correct option is D 16The stretching force $$F=\dfrac{YA\Delta l}{l}$$where $$Y=$$Young's modulus, $$A=$$Area of cross-section of wire, $$l=$$actual length of wire, $$\Delta l=$$increase in length.$$F=\dfrac{Y\pi r^{2}\Delta l}{l}$$As the material is same $$Y$$ does not change.$$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{r_1^{2}\Delta l_1}{l_1}}{\dfrac{r_2^{2}\Delta l_2}{l_2}}$$Here $$\Delta l_1=1mm$$$$\Delta l_2=1mm$$$$l_2=\dfrac{1}{2}l_1$$$$r_2=2r_1$$$$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{r_1^{2}\times 1mm}{l_1}}{\dfrac{4r_1^{2}\times 1mm}{\dfrac{1}{2}l_1}}$$$$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{1}{8}$$The work done in stretching wire by amount $$\Delta l$$ is $$W=\dfrac{1}{2} F\Delta l$$Hence $$\dfrac{W_1}{W_2}=\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{1}{8}$$As $$F_1=2$$$$F_2=2\times 8=16$$Hence the correct option is (D).Physics
