A wire suspended vertically from one of its ends is stretched by attaching a weight of to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by Then the elastic energy stored in the wire is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Given data
- Load applied:
- Extension produced:
-
Elastic potential energy stored
For a wire obeying Hooke’s law, the force increases linearly from to as extension increases from to .
Hence, elastic energy stored is
-
Substitute the values
-
Match with options corresponds to Option D.
-
Comparison with stored correct answer Stored correct answer is D, which matches our derived answer.
