JEE Main 2024 — 29 January, Shift 2 — Question 42

A wire of length L and radius r is clamped at one end. If its other end is pulled by a force F, its length increases by ll. If the radius of the wire and the applied force both are reduced to half of their original values keeping original length constant, the increase in length will become.

  1. Option A:

    3 times

  2. Option B:

    3/23 / 2 times

  3. Option C:

    4 times

  4. Option D:

    2 times

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Y= stress  strain Y=\frac{\text { stress }}{\text { strain }}
