Question
A force is applied to a steel wire 'A', rigidly
clamped at one end. As a result elongation in the
wire is 0.2 mm. If same force is applied to another
steel wire 'B' of double the length and a diameter
2.4 times that of the wire 'A', the elongation in the
wire 'B' will be (wires having uniform circular
cross sections)
(1) 6.06 × 10² mm
(2) 2.77 x 10 mm
(3) 3.0 × 10² mm
(4) 6.9 x 10 mm
