$A$ copper wire and an aluminium wire have lengths in the ratio $5: 2$, diameters in the ratio $4: 3$ and forces applied in the ratio $4: 5$. Find the ratio of increase in length of the copper wire to that of the aluminium wire. (Given: $Y_{Cu} = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$, $Y_{Al} = 0.7 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$)

Two wires of the same material have lengths in the ratio $1:2$ and diameters in the ratio $2:1$. If they are stretched by forces $F_A$ and $F_B$ respectively to produce the same extension,then the ratio $\frac{F_A}{F_B}$ is:

$A$ structural steel rod has a radius of $10\,mm$ and length of $1.0\,m.$ $A$ $100\,kN$ force stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of structural steel is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2.$ The percentage strain is about ....... $\%$

If the ratio of diameters,lengths,and Young's modulus of steel and copper wires shown in the figure are $p, q$ and $s$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths would be

Two rods of same material and volume having circular cross-section are subjected to tension $T$. Within the elastic limit,the same force is applied to both the rods. If the diameter of the first rod is half of the second rod,then the ratio of the extension of the first rod to the second rod will be: (in $: 1$)

$A$ rod of length $l$ and area of cross-section $A$ is heated from $0^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. The rod is so placed that it is not allowed to increase in length,then the force developed is proportional to
