Elastic behaviour of solids
Question

A weight of 200 kg is suspended by vertical wire of length 600.5 cm. The area of cross-section of wire is  1mm2. When the load is removed, the wire contracts by 0.5 cm. The Young's modulus of the material of wire will be 

Moderate
Solution

F=2000N,L=6m,l=0.5cm,A=106m2Y=FLAl=2000×6106×0.5×102=2.35×1012N/m2
