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

$A$ thick brass wire of length $L$ and density $\rho$ is suspended from a rigid support. Due to its own weight,$\ell$ is the increase in length. The Young's modulus $Y$ of the brass wire in terms of density is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$

Two wires of the same material have lengths in the ratio $1 : 2$ and their radii are in the ratio $1 : \sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by applying equal forces,the increase in their lengths will be in the ratio:

$A$ rod $BC$ of negligible mass is fixed at end $B$ and connected to a spring at its natural length having spring constant $K = 10^4 \ N/m$ at end $C$,as shown in the figure. For the rod $BC$,length $L = 4 \ m$,area of cross-section $A = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$,Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} \ K^{-1}$. If the rod $BC$ is cooled from temperature $100^oC$ to $0^oC$,then find the decrease in length of the rod in centimeters (closest to the integer).

$A$ $500 \,g$ ball is attached to one end of an aluminum wire of area of cross-section $0.5 \,mm^2$ and an unstretched length of $1.4 \,m$. The other end of the wire is fixed to the top of a vertical pole. The ball rotates about the pole in a horizontal plane such that the angle between the wire and the horizontal is $30^{\circ}$. The increase in the length of the wire is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of aluminum $= 0.7 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)
