The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm^2$ is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. $A$ block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the Earth. The elongation of the wire is (Take $g$ on the Earth $= 10\,m/s^2$):

$A$ $0.1 \,kg$ mass is suspended from a wire of negligible mass. The length of the wire is $1 \,m$ and its cross-sectional area is $4.9 \times 10^{-7} \,m^2$. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released, it performs simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $140 \,rad \,s^{-1}$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $n \times 10^9 \,N \,m^{-2}$, the value of $n$ is

$A$ load $W$ produces an extension of $1 \ mm$ in a thread of radius $r$. If the load is increased to $4W$ and the radius is increased to $2r$,while all other factors remain the same,what will be the new extension in $mm$?

Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are $0.2 \%$ and $0.002 \%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Calculate the longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire. (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$)

When a stress of $10^8 \, N m^{-2}$ is applied to a suspended wire,its length increases by $1 \, mm$. If the original length of the wire is $1 \, m$,calculate the Young's modulus of the wire.
