Same tension is applied to the following four wires made of same material. The elongation is longest in
- Wire of length and diameter
- Wire of length and diameter
- Wire of length and diameter
- Wire of length and diameter
Solution
The Young's modulus is a property of the material that tells us how easily it can stretch and deform and is defined as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain .
As in our case, value of will be constant.
Therefore, for maximum elongation, value of should be maximum.
Hence, for and elongation will be maximum.
