JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th April Evening Slot - No. 12)

In an experiment, brass and steel wires of length 1 m each with areas of cross section 1mm2 are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support and other end is subjected to elongation. The stress required to produce a net elongation of 0.2 mm is, [Given, the Young's Modulus for steel and brass are, respectively, 120 × 109 N/m2 and 60 × 109 N/m2]
8.0 × 106 N/m2
1.2 × 106 N/m2
0.2 × 106 N/m2
1.8 × 106 N/m2

Explanation

Corresponding to the stress ($$\sigma $$)

Total elongation $$\Delta {I_{net}} = {{\sigma {L_1}} \over {{Y_1}}} + {{\sigma {L_2}} \over {{Y_2}}}$$

$$\sigma = \Delta I\left( {{{{Y_1}{Y_2}} \over {{Y_1} + {Y_2}}}} \right)$$

$$ = 0.2 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times \left( {{{120 \times 60} \over {180}}} \right) \times {10^9}$$

$$ = 8 \times {10^6}{N \over {{m^2}}}$$
