JEE Main 2021 (Online) 24th February Evening Shift Physics - Properties of Matter Question 181 English Explanation

Let initial length and diameter be l1 and d1, whereas final length and diameter be l2 and d2.

Given, l2 = 2l1, d2 = 2d1, $$\Delta$$l1 = 0.04 m

By using formula of Young's modulus of elasticity,

$$Y = {{F\,.\,l} \over {A\Delta l}}$$

$$\therefore$$ $${Y_1} = {Y_2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {{F{l_1}} \over {{A_1} \times \Delta {l_1}}} = {{F{l_2}} \over {{A_2} \times \Delta {l_2}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {{F{l_1}} \over {\pi {{({d_1}/2)}^2} \times 0.04}} = {{F2{l_1}} \over {\pi {{(2{d_1}/2)}^2} \times \Delta {l_2}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {1/4 \times 0.04}} = {2 \over {\Delta {l_2}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow \Delta {l_2} = 0.02$$ m = 2 cm
