Question
Two wires made of the same material have lengths in the ratio 1:2 and diameters in the ratio 2:1. If the same force is applied to both, what is the ratio of work done (elastic potential energy) stored in the shorter to longer wire?
Where: 
So, energy stored in the shorter wire is 1/8 of that in the longer wire. More Physics GS Questions
