Question

The force constant of wire is K and its area of cross section is A, if the force F is applied on it,then the increase in its length will be

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

x = F/k

● Explanation -

# Given that -

F = force applied

k = force constant

A = area of cross section.

# Solution -

Magnitude of restoring force acting on the wire after applying force is given by -

F = kx

x = F/k

Hence, the increase in its length of wire will be F/k.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
