At $40\,^oC$,a brass wire of radius $0.5\, mm$ (diameter $1\, mm$) is hung from the ceiling. $A$ small mass $M$ is hung from the free end of the wire. When the wire is cooled down from $40\,^oC$ to $20\,^oC$,it regains its original length of $0.2\, m$. The value of $M$ is close to ........$kg$. (Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5}/^oC$ and Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11}\, N/m^2$; $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

  • A

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \,m$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \,mm$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \,kg$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \,mm$. Take $g=9.8 \,m/s^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is

The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y \ N/m^2$. If the length and radius are reduced to $L/2$ and $r/2,$ then its Young's modulus will be

$A$ steel wire is $1 \,m$ long and $1 \,mm^2$ in area of cross-section. If it takes $200 \,N$ to stretch this wire by $1 \,mm$,how much force will be required to stretch a wire of the same material as well as diameter from its normal length of $10 \,m$ to a length of $1002 \,cm$?
