A weight is suspended from a steel wire. The weight is then increased. The wire becomes longer until the limit of proportionality is reached. The weight is increased slightly again. What occurs?
- AThe extension of the wire increases and the wire no longer obeys Hooke’s law.
- BThe extension of the wire decreases and the wire no longer obeys Hooke’s law.
- CThe extension of the wire increases and it obeys Hooke’s law.
- DThe extension of the wire decreases and it obeys Hooke’s law.
