Physics Question on potential energy
As shown in the figure, In an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of 45∘ with the load axis The length of wire is 628cm and its diameter is 4mm The Young's modulus is found to be x×104Nm−2The value of x is
Answer
The correct answer is 5.
From graph :
F=ΔL
Y=AΔLFL
Y=AL
Y=π(2×10−3)262.8×10−2
Y=5×104N/m2
