JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 6th April Morning Shift - No. 22)

A steel rod has a radius of $$20 \mathrm{~mm}$$ and a length of $$2.0 \mathrm{~m}$$. A force of $$62.8 ~\mathrm{kN}$$ stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of steel is $$2.0 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$$. The longitudinal strain produced in the wire is _____________ $$\times 10^{-5}$$
Answer
25

Explanation

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Strain }=\frac{\text { stress }}{Y}=\frac{\frac{62.8 \times 10^3}{\pi \times(0.02)^2}}{2 \times 10^{11}} \\\\ & =\frac{62.8 \times 10^3}{3.14 \times 4 \times 10^{-4} \times 2 \times 10^{11}} \\\\ & =2.5 \times 10^{-4} \\\\ & =25 \times 10^{-5} \end{aligned} $$
