Elastic and plastic behaviour — practice question

A load is suspended from the end of a metal wire. The load is then increased and the wire extends elastically. The table gives the length of the wire for different loads. When the load is $4.0\,\text{kN}$, what is the strain energy stored in the wire?

  • A$16\,\text{J}$
  • B$32\,\text{J}$
  • C$1.0\,\text{kJ}$
  • D$2.0\,\text{kJ}$
