Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Young's modulus $Y$ is given by $Y = \frac{F/A}{\Delta \ell / \ell}$.Rearranging for extension $\Delta \ell$,we get $\Delta \ell = \frac{F \ell}{AY}$.Since the area $A = \pi (d/2)^2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$,we have $\Delta \ell = \frac{4F \ell}{\pi d^2 Y}$.Given that $F$ and $Y$ are constant for all wires,$\Delta \ell \propto \frac{\ell}{d^2}$.For option $A$: $\frac{\ell}{d^2} = \frac{50}{(0.5)^2} = \frac{50}{0.25} = 200$.For option $B$: $\frac{\ell}{d^2} = \frac{100}{(1)^2} = 100$.For option $C$: $\frac{\ell}{d^2} = \frac{200}{(2)^2} = \frac{200}{4} = 50$.For option $D$: $\frac{\ell}{d^2} = \frac{300}{(3)^2} = \frac{300}{9} \approx 33.3$.Comparing the values,option $A$ has the largest ratio,hence the largest extension.
