Question 13: easy

A wire suspended vertically from one of its ends is stretched by attaching a weight of 200 N to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by 1mm, then elastic energy stored in wire is :

1. 0.1 J
2. 0.2 J
3. 10 J
4. 20 J

Question 14: easy

The dimensions of two wires A and B are same but their materials are different. Their load extension graphs are shown if \[y_{A} and y_{B}\] are the values of young’s modulus of elasticity of ‘A and ‘B’ respectively then :

1. \[y_{A} > y_{B}\]
2. \[y_{A} < y_{B}\]
3. \[y_{A} = y_{B}\]
4. \[y_{B} = 2y_{A}\]
