The force required to stretch a steel wire of 1cm2 cross - section to 1.1 times its length would be (Y=2×1011Nm−2)
∴ Strain = lL1=L2−L1L1=1.1L1−L1L1=0.1. F=YAlL=2×1011×1×10−4×0.1=2×106N.
What force is required to stretch a steel wire 1 cm2 in cross section to double its length? (Youngs modulus for steel is 2×1011Pa)
