JAMB 2020 - Question 14
Physics 2020 JAMB Past Questions - Question 14: If the stress on a wire is 10· Nm² and the wire is stretched from its original length of 10.00 cm to 10.05cm.The young’s modulus of the wire is
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
D
Explanation
Y = stress/strain, but stress = 107Nm-2 (given).
Strain = e/l0. = (10.05 - 10.00)/10.00 = 0.005
Thus Y = 107/0.005 = 2 . 0 x 109Nm-2
