MCQ

An $8\,m$ long copper wire and $4\,m$ long steel wire, each of cross section $0.5\,cm^2$ are fastened end to end and stretched by $500\,N$ force. The elastic potential energy of the system is (Youngs mod $: Y_{cu}= 1\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2,$ $Y_{steel} = 2\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$ ) :

✓
$1/4\,\,J$
B
$1/3\,\,J$
C
$1/2\,\,J$
D
$1\,\,J$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$1/4\,\,J$

a
Work $=$ Energy stored

$=\frac{1}{2} \times(\text { Force }) \times(\Delta l)$

$\Delta l_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{FL}_{1}}{\mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{cu}} \mathrm{A}}=0.8 \mathrm{mm} \quad \& \mathrm{\Delta l}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{FL}_{2}}{\mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{steel}} \mathrm{A}}=0.2 \mathrm{mm}$

Net $\Delta l=\Delta l_{1}+\Delta l_{2}=1 \mathrm{mm}=10^{-3} \mathrm{m}$

Elastic potential energy $=\frac{1}{2} \times 500 \times 10^{-3}=?$

$=\frac{1}{4} J$
