When a force of $4 \, N$ is applied to a wire,its length is $a \, m$. When a force of $5 \, N$ is applied,its length is $b \, m$. What will be its length when a force of $9 \, N$ is applied?

  • A
    $a - b$
  • B
    $5b - 4a$
  • C
    $2b - \frac{1}{4}a$
  • D

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).

In an experiment,brass and steel wires of length $1\,m$ each with areas of cross-section $1\,mm^2$ are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support,while the other end is subjected to an elongation. The stress required to produce a total elongation of $0.2\,mm$ is: [Given: Young's Modulus for steel and brass are $120 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ and $60 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ respectively]

$A$ cylindrical rod made of aluminum has a length of $1 \,m$ and a diameter of $10 \,cm$. The rod is subjected to a tensile force of $100 \,kN$. Calculate the elongation in the rod. (Young's modulus of aluminum $= 70 \,GPa$)

$A$ brass rod of length $2\,m$ and cross-sectional area $2.0\,cm^2$ is attached end to end to a steel rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $1.0\,cm^2$. The compound rod is subjected to equal and opposite pulls of magnitude $5 \times 10^4\,N$ at its ends. If the elongations of the two rods are equal,then the length of the steel rod $(L)$ is ........... $m$ $(Y_{Brass}=1.0\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$ and $Y_{Steel} = 2.0 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$.
