Great question. Young's modulus is a material/intrinsic property of the material and is constant regardless of the change in dimension of the test specimen. Y = Stress/ Strain = F*L/A*dl Assume if you change the L to L/2 and r to r/2 i.e A to A/4 and Force required to get the same extension is also F/2,...

Great question. Young's modulus is a material/intrinsic property of the material and is constantregardless of the change in dimension of the test specimen. Y = Stress/ Strain = F*L/A*dl Assume if you change the L to L/2 and r to r/2 i.e A to A/4 and Force required to get the same extension is also F/2, above equation becomes Y = 4*F*L/4*A*dl =F*L/A*dl ( Same as above) Happy learning!!! read less

A body is initially at rest. It undergoes one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time t is proportional to
(i) t1/2 (ii) t (iii) t3/2 (iv) t2
Power=FVCosA=ma.(u+at)Cos0=ma.(0+at).1=ma^2.t. Which is propotionalp to t. So correct answer (ii) t.
