    When a rubber is stretched in length, it experiences a deformation in which the material attempts to preserve its volume. Since the length increases, the cross-sectional area reduces, bringing down the thickness. In most cases, width can increase as rubber stretches in length to preserve the overall volume.

  2. Young's modulus is defined as stress divided by strain, where: Stress = Force / Area (unit: Nm⁻² or Pascal) Strain is dimensionless, so Young's modulus has the same unit as stress, i.e., Nm⁻², Pascal (Pa), or derived units like megapascals (MPa). Now, let's analyze the options: - Nm⁻¹: This represenRead more

    Young’s modulus is defined as stress divided by strain, where:
    Stress = Force / Area (unit: Nm⁻² or Pascal)
    Strain is dimensionless, so Young’s modulus has the same unit as stress, i.e., Nm⁻², Pascal (Pa), or derived units like megapascals (MPa).

    Now, let’s analyze the options:
    – Nm⁻¹: This represents force per unit length, not a valid unit for Young’s modulus.
    – Nm⁻²: Correct unit of Young’s modulus.
    – dyne cm⁻²: A valid unit (CGS system).
    – mega pascal: A legitimate unit (1 MPa = 10⁶ Pa).

  4. In solids, the interatomic forces are **both attractive and repulsive**. The atoms or molecules in a solid are held together by attractive forces such as covalent, ionic, or metallic bonds; however, as atoms approach closer, repulsive forces begin acting due to the electron cloud interactions.

  5. In formula format: ΔL = (F × L) / (A × Y) Where: - F= applied load which is the same for both the wires - L= length of wire which is the same for both - A= cross sectional area of the wire A = πd² / 4 - Y = Young's modulus (same material, so constant for both wires) The extension is **inversely propRead more

    In formula format:
    ΔL = (F × L) / (A × Y)

    Where:
    – F= applied load which is the same for both the wires
    – L= length of wire which is the same for both
    – A= cross sectional area of the wire A = πd² / 4
    – Y = Young’s modulus (same material, so constant for both wires)

    The extension is **inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (A)

    Step 1: Calculate the area ratio
    For the first wire (diameter = d):
    A₁ = (π × d²) / 4

    For the second wire (diameter = 2d):
    A₂ = (π × (2d)²) / 4 = (π × 4d²) / 4 = πd²

    Area ratio is:
    A₁ : A₂ = (πd² / 4) : πd² = 1 : 4

    Step 2: Ratio of extensions
    Since extension (ΔL) is inversely proportional to the area:
    ΔL₁ : ΔL₂ = A₂ : A₁ = 4 : 1
