Elastic Modulie
Question

A block of mass m is tied to one end of a string of length l, young's modulus Y and cross-sectional area A. The block is made to rotate in a horizontal circle of radius l with angular velocity ω in a gravity free space. If elongation of the wire is x, then elastic potential energy stored in the wire is

Easy
Solution

Centrifugal force acting on the block, F=mω2l.

 Elongation = x

 Elastic potential energy 

=12F.x=mω2lx2
