Q. A steel wire of length 2m and diameter 4 mm is stretched by 5 kg-wt.

Find the increase in


its length, if the Young’s modulus of steel wire is 2.4 1012 dyne/cm2.

Soln: Here,
L = 4m = 400 cm

and, 2r = 4 mm r = 2 mm = 0.2 cm;


and, F = 5 kg wt. = 5000 g-wt. = 5000 980 dyne;
and, Y = 2.4 1012 dyne/cm2
We have,
