  • 2000N


  • Tension =2000N Becz D=2 tension wl b 4 times

  • as you know that young's modulus = (tension*original length)/(cross sectional area*change in length) since in this question all the quantities except tension and area are constant we can say that tension∝area of cross section. thus tension∝D² (as area = πD²/4 ; D is diameter) so if for D =1 tension = 500N then for D = 2 tension will be four times i.e tension = 2000N.

  • 1000 N


  • 1000N


  • 1000


  • as b.s=plg. t1/t2=l1/l2. 500/t2=1/2. t2=1000.

  • 2000 breaking force(Tmax)=pressure x area hence,Tmax is proportional to r^2 which is square of cross sectional radius

  • 2000 N bcoz 500÷0.5^2=f÷1^2

  • 1000 because diameter double tension also double
