Work Done in Stretching Wire / Elastic P.E. -

\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\frac{YAl^{2}}{L}=\frac{1}{2}Fl

(K=\frac{YA}{L})

- wherein

L - Length of wire

l - increase in length

 

 

 

k_{1}=\frac{y_{1}A_{1}}{l_{1}}=\frac{120\times 10^{9}\times A}{1}

k_{2}=\frac{y_{2}A_{2}}{l_{2}}=\frac{60\times 10^{9}\times A}{1}

K_{eq}=\frac{K_{1}K_{2}}{K_{1}+K_{2}}=\frac{120\times 60}{180}\times 10^{9}\times A

\Rightarrow K _{eq} =40\times 10^{9}\times A

F=k_{eq} \left (x \right )

F=\left ( 40\times 10^{9} \right )A_{0}\left ( 0.2\times 10^{-3} \right )

\Rightarrow \frac{F}{A}=8\times 10^{6}N/m^{2}

  


Option 1)

1.2\times 10^{6}N/m^{2}

Option 2)

8\times 10^{6}N/m^{2}

Option 3)

1.8\times 10^{6}N/m^{2}

Option 4)

0.2\times 10^{6}N/m^{2}
