A wire of length L and radius r is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force F, the increase in its length is l. If another wire of the same material but of length 2L and radius 2r is stretched with a force of 2F, the increase in its length will be

1. l                                       

2. 2l

In steel, Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are 2×1011Nm-2 and 0.15 respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is, therefore:

1. 1.33×1011Nm-2           

2. 1.33×1012Nm-2

3. 7.5×10-13Nm-2
