Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 5 April (Evening Shift)

A copper wire of length 3 m is stretched by 3 mm by applying an external force. The volume of the wire is 600 10-6 m3. The elastic potential energy stored in the wire in stretched condition would be J. (Given Young modulus of copper = 1.1 1011 N/m2)

Answer

33

Solution

Strain = ll= 3 10-33=10-3

Energy density u= 12 = 12Y(strain)2

U= 12Y(strain)2 V

= 12 1.1 1011 (10-3)2 600 10-6

=0.55 105 600 10-6

U=33 J

Answer: 33

A string A of length 0.314 m and Young's modulus 2 1010 N/m2 is connected to another string B of length and Young's modulus both twice of those of A. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass 0.8 kg. The net change in length of the combination is mm. (radius of both the strings is 0.2 mm and acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)

Two slabs with square cross section of different materials (1, 2) with equal sides (l) and thickness d1 and d2 such that d2 = 2d1 and l > d2. Considering lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor, we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is 2 = 2 1. If the shear modulus of material 1 is 4 109 N/m2, then shear modulus of material 2 is x 109 N/m2, where value of x is .
