Question

When the load on a wire is increasing slowly from $$2\,kg$$  to $$4\,kg,$$  the elongation increases from $$0.6\,mm$$  to $$1\,mm.$$  The work done during this extension of the wire is
$$\left( {g = 10\,m/{s^2}} \right)$$

A. $$9 \times {10^{ - 3}}J$$
B. $$12 \times {10^{ - 3}}J$$
C. $$14 \times {10^{ - 3}}J$$  
D. $$16 \times {10^{ - 3}}J$$
Answer :   $$14 \times {10^{ - 3}}J$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & \Delta w = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {{F_2}{\ell _2} - {F_1}{\ell _1}} \right] \cr & = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {4 \times 10 \times 1 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} - 2 \times 10 \times 0.6 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} = 14 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}J} \right] \cr} $$
