$A$ weight of $200 \, kg$ is suspended by a vertical wire of length $600.5 \, cm$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $1 \, mm^2$. When the load is removed,the wire contracts by $0.5 \, cm$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be:

  • A
    $2.35 \times 10^{12} \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $1.35 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $13.5 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $23.5 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$

Consider a rod of length $1.0 \ m$ with a cross-sectional area of $0.50 \ cm^2$. The rod supports a $500 \ kg$ platform that hangs attached to the rod's lower end. What is the elongation of the rod under the stress, ignoring the weight of the rod (in $mm$)? Consider Young's modulus to be $10^{11} \ Pa$ and $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.

$A$ metal wire of length $L_1$ and area of cross-section $A$ is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length $L_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area is attached to the free end of the first wire. $A$ body of mass $M$ is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ are the Young's moduli of the wires respectively,the effective force constant of the system of the two wires is:

View Solution

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $A$,modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \text{ N m}^{-2}$,and length $2L = 2 \text{ m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports. When a mass of $2 \text{ kg}$ is suspended at the middle,it sags from its original position,making an angle $\theta = \frac{1}{100} \text{ radian}$ with the horizontal at the points of support. The value of $A$ is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2$. (Given: $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

What is the effect of change in temperature on the Young's modulus?

$A$ 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).
