Q8 / 52 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Mechanical Properties of Solids

What will be the change in interatomic distance (in A°) of steel on applying a stress of 109 N/m2. The Young's modulus of steel is  2× 10 11  N/ m 2  and the interatomic distance in steel is 2.8 A°. 

 

 

  • A
    7×10-3
  • Correct answer
    B
    14×10-3
  • C
    21×10-3
  • D
    28×10-3

Solution

e=( Stress )(ℓ)Y

=1092×1011×2.8( in Å)

=1.4×10-2 Å
=14×10-3 Å

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