Question

The adjacent graph shows the extension (Δl) of a wire of length 1m suspended from the top of a roof at one end with a load W connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is 10-6 m2, calculate the Young's modulus of the material of the wire. 

Moderate
Solution

From the graph, l=104m,F=20N

A=106m2,L=1mY=FLAl=20×1106×104=20×1010=2×1011N/m2
