A wire, suspended vertically from one end, is stretched by attaching a weight of to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by . How much energy is gained by the wire?
0.01 J
0.02 J
0.04 J
1.0 J
We have seen above that work done by a force $F$ to produce an extension l in the wire . Thus, the energy gained by the wire
.
Hence the correct choice is (a).
