$5 \,m$ long aluminium wire $(Y = 7 \times 10^{10} \,N/m^2)$ of diameter $3 \,mm$ supports a $40 \,kg$ mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $(Y = 12 \times 10^{10} \,N/m^2)$ of the same length under the same weight, the diameter should be (in $mm$):

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ is rotated in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through one of its ends. The angular speed of rotation is $\omega$. Find the increase in length of the rod, if $\rho$ and $Y$ are the density and Young's modulus of the rod respectively.

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which one will have the largest elongation when subjected to the same tension?

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length, same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$, then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is

The two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal cross-section but of different materials are joined together. The ratio of Young's modulus of wire $A$ and wire $B$ is $20/11$. When the joined wire is kept under certain tension the elongations in the wires $A$ and $B$ are equal. If the length of wire $A$ is $2.2\text{ m}$, then the length of wire $B$ is . . . . . . m.

Let a steel bar of length $l$,breadth $b$,and depth $d$ be loaded at the centre by a load $W$. Then the sag of bending of the beam is ($Y =$ Young's modulus of the material of steel).
