Question
7. A force stretches a wire by 1 mm. a. A second wire of the same material has the same cross section and twice the length. How far will it be stretched by the same force? Explain. b. A third wire of the same material has the same length and twice the diameter as the first. How far will it be stretched by the same force? Explain.

Answer:
(a) The second wire will be stretched by 2 mm
(b) The third wire will be stretched by 0.25 mm
Explanation:
Tensile stress on every engineering material is given as the ratio of applied force to unit area of the material.
σ = F / A
Tensile strain on every engineering material is given as the ratio of extension of the material to the original length
δ = e / L
The ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain is known as Young’s modulus of the material.
Part A
cross sectional area and applied force are the same as the original but the length is doubled
The second wire will be stretched by 2 mm
Part B
a third wire with the same length but twice the diameter of the first
e₁ = ¹/₄ x 1 mm = 0.25 mm
The third wire will be stretched by 0.25 mm
