Elastic behaviour of solids
Question

In CGS system, the Young's modulus of a steel wire is 2×1012 dyne/cm2. To double the length of a wire of unit cross-sectional area, the force required is

Moderate
Solution

To double the length of wire l=L, 

Stress = Young's modulus 
      FA=2×1012dynecm2.
If A = 1 then F = 2 × 1012 dyne
