A constant force is applied to a metal wire of length 'L'. Volume of the wire is constant. The extension produced is proportional to
  1. $\mathrm{L}^{2}$
  2. $\mathrm{~L}^{3}$
  3. $\mathrm{~L}$
  4. $\mathrm{~L}^{-2}$

Solution

let the volume be $\mathrm{V}$ and area $\mathrm{A}$ $\mathrm{Y}=\frac{\mathrm{Fl}}{\mathrm{A} \Delta \mathrm{l}}$ $\Delta \mathrm{l}=\frac{\mathrm{Fl}}{\mathrm{YA}}$ $V=A \times 1$ $\mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{l}}$ $\Delta \mathrm{l}=\frac{\mathrm{Fl}^{2}}{\mathrm{YV}}$
