If weight of 1.5kg is suspended on a
were then increast of length is 1%
then linear Strain is -
Answers
Linear strain is defined as the ratio of change in length to the original length.
Let, the original length of the wire is l
Now upon loading the length of the wire increased by 1%, therefore the length of the wire becomes.
Change in length of the wire
Therefore the linear strain in the wire is
Explanation:
Linear strain is defined as the ratio of change in length to the original length.
Let, the original length of the wire is l
Now upon loading the length of the wire increased by 1%, therefore the length of the wire becomes.
\begin{gathered} \longrightarrow \sf l' = l + \bigg ( \frac{1}{100} \bigg)l \\ \\\longrightarrow \sf l' = 1.01l\end{gathered}
⟶l

=l+(

)l
⟶l

=1.01l
Change in length of the wire
\begin{gathered} \longrightarrow \sf Δl=1.01l−l \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf ∆l =0.01l\end{gathered}
⟶Δl=1.01l−l
⟶∆l=0.01l
Therefore the linear strain in the wire is
\begin{gathered}\longrightarrow \boxed{\sf Strain = \frac{∆l}{l}} \\ \\\longrightarrow \sf Strain = \frac{0.01l}{l} \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf Strain =0.01\end{gathered}
⟶
Strain=

⟶Strain=

⟶Strain=0.01
