Q85 / 90 · JEE Main 2017 (02 Apr) · Physics

A man grows into a giant such that his linear dimensions increase by a factor of 9. Assuming that his density remains same, the stress in the leg will change by a factor of:

  • A
    181 
  • Correct answer
    B
    9
  • C
    19
  • D
    81

Solution

Stress =FA=MgA

=ρVolume .gA

=ρ93x3 g92x2

=9 times

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
