A steel wire of \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) long and \(1 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) cross sectional area \(1 \mathrm{~s}\) hung from rigid end when weight of \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) is hung from it then change in length will be........... [ $\left.\mathrm{Y}=2 \times 10^{11}\left(\mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)\right]$ (A) \(0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\) (B) \(0.25 \mathrm{~mm}\) (C) \(0.05 \mathrm{~mm}\) (D) \(5 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The change in length of the steel wire is approximately \(0.05\,\text{mm}\).

Step by step solution

01

List the given information

We are given the following information - Original length of wire \(L = 1\,\text{m}\) - Cross-sectional area of wire \(A = 1\,\text{mm}^2 = 1 \times 10^{-6}\,\text{m}^2\) - Weight of \(1\,\text{kg}\) (force applied) \(F = 1\,\text{kg} \times 9.81\,\text{m/s}^2 = 9.81\,\text{N}\) - Young's modulus \(Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,\text{N/m}^2\) Now, we will plug the given information into the formula to calculate the change in length.
02

Calculate the change in length using the formula

We will use the formula \(\Delta L = \frac{FL}{AY}\) to calculate the change in length. \[\Delta L = \frac{9.81\,\text{N} \times 1\,\text{m}}{1 \times 10^{-6}\,\text{m}^2 \times 2\times 10^{11}\,\text{N/m}^2}\]
03

Simplify and find the change in length

Now, simplify the equation: \[\Delta L = \frac{9.81}{2 \times 10^5} \approx 4.905 \times 10^{-5}\,\text{m}\] To convert the change in length into millimeters, multiply by 1000: \[\Delta L \approx 4.905 \times 10^{-5}\,\text{m} \times 1000 = 0.04905\,\text{mm}\] Looking at the given options, the closest answer is (C) \(0.05\,\text{mm}\)
