The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length $10 \ cm$ to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by $100 \ ^\circ C$ is: (For steel,Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$)

$A$ stress of $1.5 \, kg.wt/mm^2$ is applied to a wire of Young's modulus $5 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$. The percentage increase in its length is

One end of a horizontal thick copper wire of length $2L$ and radius $2R$ is welded to an end of another horizontal thin copper wire of length $L$ and radius $R$. When the arrangement is stretched by applying forces at two ends,the ratio of the elongation in the thin wire to that in the thick wire is:

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 $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
