$A$ cable that can support a load $W$ is cut into two equal parts. The maximum load that can be supported by either part is

When a force $F_1$ is applied on a metallic wire, the length of the wire is $L_1$. If a force $F_2$ is applied on the same wire, the length of the wire is $L_2$. The original length of the wire $L$ is

Check if the following statements are True or False:
$(a)$ Shear modulus of liquid is infinite.
$(b)$ For a given load (external force),steel is more deformed than rubber.
$(c)$ When a solid body is beaten,rolled,heated,or cooled,its elastic properties are affected.

$A$ lift is tied with thick iron ropes having mass $M$. The maximum acceleration of the lift is $a \ m/s^2$ and the maximum safe stress is $s \ N/m^2$. The minimum diameter of the rope is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$
