A copper wire of length l has Young's modulus Y. If the wire is cut into two equal halves of each length l/2, what will be Young's modulus of each half?


The young's modulus of the wire will remain the same, that is Y because it is  independent of the dimensions of material.

Young's modulus is dependent on the nature of the material.
