A boy’s catapult is made of rubber cord which is $42\, cm$ long, with $6\, mm$ diameter of cross -section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing $0.02\, kg$ on it and stretches the cord by $20\, cm$ by applying a constant force. When released, the stone flies off with a velocity of $20\, ms^{-1}$. Neglect the change in the area of cross section of the cord while stretched. The Young’s modulus of rubber is closest to
  • A$10^3\, Nm^{-2}$
  • B$10^6\, Nm^{-2}$
  • C$10^8\, Nm^{-2}$
  • D$10^4\, Nm^{-2}$

    Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

    Assertion $(A)$:The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.

    Reason $(R)$:A coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
