A bar of some material has a cross sectional area of A and an original length of L. A tensile force of F is applied to the bar, producing a deformation of ΔL. A bar with the same original length but with twice the cross sectional area has the same force of F applied to it. The deformation of the second bar is
Group of answer choices
0.5 (ΔL)
0.25 (ΔL)
ΔL
2 (ΔL)
4 (ΔL)
As young modulus will remain same for a material,using this change in length is calculated.
Young modulus is given by stress/strain.
Where, stress =force /area
& strain =change in length /original length.
Change in length is comes out to be 0.5(∆L)
