If the interatomic spacing in a steel wire is $3.0 \mathring{A}$ and $Y_{\text{steel}} = 20 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$, then the force constant is:

  • A
    $6 \times 10^{-2} N/\mathring{A}$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-9} N/\mathring{A}$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-5} N/\mathring{A}$
  • D
    $6 \times 10^{-5} N/\mathring{A}$

Which one of the following is not a unit of Young's modulus?

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are of the same material. Their lengths are in the ratio $1: 2$ and diameters are in the ratio $2: 1$. When stretched by forces $F_{A}$ and $F_{B}$ respectively,they get equal increase in their lengths. Then the ratio $F_{A} / F_{B}$ is

The two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal cross-section but of different materials are joined together. The ratio of Young's modulus of wire $A$ and wire $B$ is $20/11$. When the joined wire is kept under certain tension the elongations in the wires $A$ and $B$ are equal. If the length of wire $A$ is $2.2\text{ m}$, then the length of wire $B$ is . . . . . . m.

$A$ force of $200\, N$ is applied at one end of a wire of length $2\, m$ and having area of cross-section $10^{-2}\, cm^2$. The other end of the wire is rigidly fixed. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the wire is $\alpha = 8 \times 10^{-6}\, ^\circ C^{-1}$,Young's modulus is $Y = 2.2 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$,and its temperature is increased by $5\, ^\circ C$,then the increase in the tension of the wire will be ........ $N$.

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section,one of steel and another of brass,are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level,then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of
