$A$ load of $1 \,kg$ weight is attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $3 \,mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \,N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position, the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.

$A$ uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal,unextended length $L$. The radii at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire have values $R$ and $3R$,respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length of this wire would be:

Two wires made of the same material are clamped rigidly at one end and pulled by the same force on the other end. The length and the radius of the first wire are three times those of the second wire. If $x$ is the increase in the length of the first wire,then the increase in the length of the second wire is

Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of different materials of length $6.0 \ cm$ and $5.4 \ cm$, respectively, and area of cross-sections $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$ and $4.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$, respectively, are stretched by the same magnitude under a given load.
