The increase in length is $l$ of a wire of length $L$ by the longitudinal stress. Then the stress is proportional to
  • A$L/l$
  • B$l/L$
  • C$l \times L$
  • D${l^2} \times L$

    A steel wire of diameter $0.5 mm$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} N m ^{-2}$ carries a load of mass $M$. The length of the wire with the load is $1.0 m$. A vernier scale with $10$ divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $1.0 mm$, is attached. The $10$ divisions of the vernier scale correspond to $9$ divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $1.2 kg$, the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is. . . . Take $g =10 m s ^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.2$.
