0.2274 ans
P-3000*10 N.
A-314.16mm2 (D -20mm).
L-5000mm.
E-2.1*10^6.
L = 0.2274mm.

No answer B is correct because E will in kg/cm2 so every dimension will be in cm.

@Situ Gupta.

Yes, the answer is right, everything should be in mm 0.0227.

Elongation = PL/AE.

= 3000*500/(2.1*10^6*3.14*2^2/4).

= 0.2275 mm.

The correct answer is 2.27mm. Check the calculation once.

Dhanu said:   8 years ago
E will in kg/mm2 then only answer will be correct.

Amer said:   8 years ago
Can someone calculate the area in simple term?

Shubam said:   7 years ago
Units of E is in kg/cm2. So the answer is A.
