Q.
A steel wire is 1m long and 1mm2 in area of cross-section. If it takes 200N to stretch this wire by 1mm, how much force will be required to stretch a wire of the same material as well as diameter from its normal length of 10m to a length of 1002cm ?

Solution:
AYFL=Δx
Since A,Y remain constant in given case We can say FL∝Δx
or F2L2F1L1=Δx2Δx1 F1=200N Δx1=1mm Δx2=10.02m−10m=0.02m=20mm L1=1m L2=10m
Substitute the values F2×10200×1=20mm1mm F2=400N
