The ratio of the areas of cross-sections of three wires is $1:2:3$ and the ratio of the Young's moduli of their materials is $3:2:1$. If the three wires are of the same length and the same stretching force is applied to the three wires, then the ratio of the elongations of the three wires is

  • A
    $4:3:4$
  • B
    $1:1:1$
  • C
    $9:4:1$
  • D
    $3:4:3$

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 ...... $mm$.

$A$ rod of length $L$ at room temperature and uniform area of cross section $A$ is made of a metal having a coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha /^{\circ}C$. It is observed that an external compressive force $F$,applied on each of its ends,prevents any change in the length of the rod when its temperature rises by $\Delta T \, K$. The Young's modulus $Y$ for this metal is:

An aluminum rod (Young's modulus $Y = 7 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$) has a breaking strain of $0.2\%$. The minimum cross-sectional area of the rod required to support a load of $10^4 \, N$ is:

As shown in the figure,in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire,the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of the wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times 10^4\,N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is
