  • A
    $l$
  • B
    $2l$
  • C

$A$ $5\, m$ 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 now be,in $mm$.

Write the equation of bending in a rod. Write the unit of bending and its dimensional formula.

In Young's experiment,if the length of the wire and the radius are both doubled,then the value of $Y$ will become:

$A$ wire of length $0.5 \ m$ and area of cross-section $4 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$ at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to $0^{\circ} C$,but is prevented from contracting,by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible,then the value of the mass attached to the wire is (Young's modulus of material of the wire $= 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$; coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire $= 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)

$A$ wire is stretched by $0.01 \ m$ by a certain force $F$. Another wire of the same material whose diameter and length are double that of the original wire is stretched by the same force. Then its elongation will be (in $m$)
