$A$ metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \, m^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \, K^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \, N/m^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$,a weight of $5000 \, N$ needs to be attached to the rod so that its length remains unchanged. Then,$T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$.

What is buckling? What should be the shape of a rod for preventing buckling?

$A$ metal wire of length $0.5\; m$ and cross-sectional area $10^{-4}\; m^{2}$ has a breaking stress of $5 \times 10^{8}\; N/m^{2}$. $A$ block of mass $10\; kg$ is attached to one end of the wire and is rotated in a horizontal circle. The maximum linear velocity of the block will be $v\; m/s$. Find $v$.

Two blocks of masses $1 \,kg$ and $2 \,kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley. The breaking stress of metal is $\frac{40}{3 \pi} \times 10^6 \,N m^{-2}$. What should be the minimum radius of the wire used if it should not break (in $mm$)? $(g = 10 \,m s^{-2})$

$A$ string $AB$ of unstretched length $L$ is stretched by applying a force $F$ at the mid-point $C$ such that the segments $AC$ and $BC$ make an angle $\theta$ with $AB$ as shown in the figure. The string may be considered as an elastic element with a force to elongation ratio $K$. The force $F$ is given by
