On applying a stress of $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$,the length of a perfectly elastic wire is doubled. Its Young's modulus will be:

  • A
    $40 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $10 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$

$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

In an experiment,brass and steel wires of length $1\,m$ each with areas of cross-section $1\,mm^2$ are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support,while the other end is subjected to an elongation. The stress required to produce a total elongation of $0.2\,mm$ is: [Given: Young's Modulus for steel and brass are $120 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ and $60 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ respectively]

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 $mm$)

$A$ piece of copper having a rectangular cross-section of $15.2 \; mm \times 19.1 \; mm$ is pulled in tension with $44,500 \; N$ force,producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain.

There are two wires of the same material and same length. The diameter of the second wire is two times the diameter of the first wire. What is the ratio of the extensions produced in the wires by applying the same load?
