For the tensile stress on the cross-section $PQRS$ to be maximum,$\theta =$ ......... $^o$

$A$ string of length $0.314 \text{ m}$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$ is connected to another string of length $B$ and Young's modulus both twice of those of $A$. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass $0.8 \text{ kg}$. The net change in length of the combination is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$. (radius of both the strings is $0.2 \text{ mm}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)

Two identical steel cubes (masses $50\,g$,side $1\,cm$) collide head-on face to face with a speed of $10\,cm/s$ each. Find the maximum compression of each. Young's modulus for steel $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$.

Which of the following affects the elasticity of a substance?

What are the factors on which the modulus of elasticity depends?

One end of a wire of $8 \,mm$ radius and $100 \,cm$ length is fixed and the other end is twisted through an angle of $45^{\circ}$. The angle of shear is (in $^{\circ}$)
