Question

What per cent of length of wire increases by applying a stress of $$1\,kg\,{\text{weight}}/m{m^2}$$    on it?
($$Y = 1 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$$    and $$1\,kg$$  weight = 9.8 newton)

A. $$0.0067\% $$
B. $$0.0098\% $$  
C. $$0.0088\% $$
D. $$0.0078\% $$
Answer :   $$0.0098\% $$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Stress}} = 1\,kg\,wt/m{m^2} = 9.8\,N/m{m^2} \cr & = 9.8 \times {10^6}\,N/{m^2}. \cr & Y = 1 \times {10^{11}}N/{m^2},\frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell } \times 100 = ? \cr & Y = \frac{{{\text{Stress}}}}{{{\text{Strain}}}} = \frac{{{\text{Stress}}}}{{\frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell }}} \cr & \therefore \frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell } = \frac{{{\text{Stress}}}}{Y} = \frac{{9.8 \times {{10}^6}}}{{1 \times {{10}^{11}}}} \cr & \frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell } \times 100 = 9.8 \times {10^{ - 11}} \times 100 \times {10^6} \cr & = 9.8 \times {10^{ - 3}} \cr & = 0.0098\% \cr} $$
