The stress versus strain graphs for wires of two materials $A$ and $B$ are as shown in the figure. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's modulus of the materials,then

  • A
    $Y_B = 2Y_A$
  • B
    $Y_A = Y_B$
  • C
    $Y_B = 3Y_A$
  • D
    $Y_A = 3Y_B$

Let $L$ be the length and $d$ be the diameter of the cross-section of a wire. Wires of the same material with different $L$ and $d$ are subjected to the same tension along the length of the wire. In which of the following cases will the extension of the wire be the maximum?

The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y \, N/m^2$. What will be the Young's modulus of a wire made of the same material with length $L/2$ and radius $r/2$?

The length of a metal wire is $L_1$ when the tension is $T_1$ and $L_2$ when the tension is $T_2$. The unstretched length of the wire is:

$A$ steel rod of diameter $1\,cm$ is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25\,^{\circ}C$ so that it cannot contract on cooling. The tension in the rod at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is approximately ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^{\circ}C, Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$
