$A$ cable is cut to half of its original length. What will be the effect on the increase in its length under a given load?

$A$ force is applied to a steel wire '$A$',rigidly clamped at one end. As a result,the elongation in the wire is $0.2\,mm$. If the same force is applied to another steel wire '$B$' of double the length and a diameter $2.4$ times that of the wire '$A$',the elongation in the wire '$B$' will be $............\times 10^{-2}\,mm$ (wires having uniform circular cross sections).

$A$ load of $1 \,kg$ weight is attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $3 \,mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \,N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position, the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.

The area of cross-section of a steel wire $(Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2)$ is $0.1 \ cm^2$. The force required to double its length will be

In which case is there maximum extension in the wire,if the same force is applied to each wire?
