Question on: JAMB Physics - 1997
A load of 20N on a wire of cross-sectional area 8 x 10-7m2, produces an extension of 10m2. calculate Young's modulus for the material of the wire if its length is 3m
A
7.0 x 1011Nm-2
B
7.5 x 1011Nm-2
C
8.5 x 1011Nm-2
D
9.0 x 1011Nm-2
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Young's modulus = \(\frac{F}{A}\) \(\div\) \(\frac{e}{L}\)
= \(\frac{20}{8 \times 10^{-7}}\) \(\div\) \(\frac{10^{-4}}{3}\)
= 7.5 x 1011Nm-2
= \(\frac{20}{8 \times 10^{-7}}\) \(\div\) \(\frac{10^{-4}}{3}\)
= 7.5 x 1011Nm-2
