Question

The length of a wire increases by 1% by a load of 2 kg-wt. The linear strain produced in the wire will be

• A. 0.02
• B. 0.001
• C. 0.01
• D. 0.002

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

0.01

Answer 2

Strain $= \frac{\text{Change in length}}{\text{Originallength}} = \frac{1\%\text{of }L}{L} = \frac{L/100}{L}$=$0.01$
