$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $F$,its length increases by $5\,cm$. Another wire of the same material of length $4L$ and radius $4r$ is pulled by a force $4F$ under the same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is $....cm$.

Two wires of diameter $0.25 \; cm,$ one made of steel and the other made of brass,are loaded as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is $1.5 \; m$ and that of the brass wire is $1.0 \; m.$ Compute the elongations of the steel and the brass wires. (Given: Young's modulus of steel $Y_s = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa,$ Young's modulus of brass $Y_b = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$)

The correct increasing order for the modulus of elasticity for copper,steel,glass,and rubber is:

One end of a steel rod of radius $10.0 \ mm$ and length $50.0 \ cm$ is clamped on a horizontal table. The other end of the rod is pulled with a force of magnitude $10.0 \times \pi \ kN$. This force is uniform across the flat surface of the rod and is perpendicular to it. The change in the length of the rod due to this applied force is (Use Young's modulus $= 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $mm$)

The speed of a transverse wave travelling in a wire of length $50 \text{ cm}$,cross-sectional area $1 \text{ mm}^2$ and mass $5 \text{ g}$ is $80 \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $4 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$. The extension in the length of the wire is
