MCQ
A wire fixed at the upper end stretches by length $l$ by applying a force $F$. The work done in stretching is
  • A
    $\frac{F}{{2l}}$
  • B
    $Fl$
  • C
    $2Fl$
  • $\frac{{Fl}}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{Fl}}{2}$
d
$F_{a v}=\frac{0+F}{2}=\frac{F}{2}$

$W=\left(\frac{0+F}{2}\right) \ell=\frac{F \ell}{2}$
