(B) According to the work-energy theorem, the kinetic energy $(KE)$ of the stone equals the elastic potential energy $(U)$ of the rubber band.For the rubber band:Young's modulus $(Y)$ $= 5 	imes 10^8 \, N/m^2$Initial length $(L)$ $= 2 	imes 10^{-2} \, m$Change in length $(\Delta L)$ $= 2 	imes 10^{-2} \, m$Area of cross-section $(A)$ $= 5 	imes 10^{-6} \, m^2$Elastic potential energy $(U)$ $= \frac{1}{2} 	imes Y 	imes (	ext{strain})^2 	imes 	ext{volume}$$U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes Y 	imes \left(\frac{\Delta L}{L}ight)^2 	imes A 	imes L$$U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 5 	imes 10^8 	imes \left(\frac{2 	imes 10^{-2}}{2 	imes 10^{-2}}ight)^2 	imes 5 	imes 10^{-6} 	imes 2 	imes 10^{-2}$$U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 5 	imes 10^8 	imes 1^2 	imes 10 	imes 10^{-8} = 25 \, J$This energy is transferred to the stone of mass $m = 20 \, g = 20 	imes 10^{-3} \, kg$:$KE = U$$\frac{1}{2} m v^2 = 25$$\frac{1}{2} 	imes 20 	imes 10^{-3} 	imes v^2 = 25$$10^{-2} 	imes v^2 = 25$$v^2 = 2500$$v = 50 \, m/s$

The work done per unit volume in stretching a wire is :-

If the work done in stretching a wire by $1 \ mm$ is $2 \ J$,the work necessary for stretching another wire of the same material but with double the radius of cross-section and half the length by $1 \ mm$ is:

An $8\,m$ long copper wire and $4\,m$ long steel wire,each of cross-section $0.5\,cm^2$,are fastened end to end and stretched by a $500\,N$ force. The elastic potential energy of the system is (Young's modulus: $Y_{cu} = 1 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,$Y_{steel} = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$):

When a $8 \,m$ long wire is stretched by a load of $10 \,kg-wt$, it is elongated by $1.5 \,mm$. The energy stored in the wire in this process is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,J$)
