The length of a metal wire is found to be $L_1$ and $L_2$ when the tensions $T_1$ and $T_2$ are applied to it respectively. The natural length of the wire is

  • A
    $\frac{L_1 T_1+L_2 T_2}{T_2+T_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{L_1+L_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{L_1 T_2+L_2 T_1}{T_2+T_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{L_1 T_2-L_2 T_1}{T_2-T_1}$

The proportional limit of steel is $8 \times 10^8 \, N/m^2$ and its Young's modulus is $2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$. The maximum elongation,a one metre long steel wire can be given without exceeding the elastic limit is ...... $mm$.

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$,how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

What force is required to increase the length of a wire of diameter $4 \, mm$ and Young's modulus $9 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$ by $0.1\%$?

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus,steel wires of five different lengths $(1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5\,m)$ but of same cross-section $(2\,mm^2)$ were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope $(\text{extension/load})$ of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is $x \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,then the value of $x$ is

$A$ metal rod of cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-6} \,m^{2}$ is suspended vertically from one end and has a length of $0.4 \,m$ at $100^{\circ} C$. The rod is cooled to $0^{\circ} C$, but prevented from contracting by attaching a mass '$m$' at the lower end. Find the value of '$m$'.
