<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is
<u>Explanation:</u>
Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.
The equation representing Young's Modulus is:
where,
Y = Young's Modulus
F = force exerted by the weight =
m = mass of the ball = 10 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity =
l = length of wire = 2.6 m
A = area of cross section =
r = radius of the wire = (Conversion factor: 1 m = 1000 mm)
= change in length = 1.99 mm =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is
