The two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal cross-section but of different materials are joined together. The ratio of Young's modulus of wire $A$ and wire $B$ is $20/11$. When the joined wire is kept under certain tension the elongations in the wires $A$ and $B$ are equal. If the length of wire $A$ is $2.2\text{ m}$, then the length of wire $B$ is . . . . . . m.

Which is more elastic: rubber or steel?

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $A$,modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \text{ N m}^{-2}$,and length $2L = 2 \text{ m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports. When a mass of $2 \text{ kg}$ is suspended at the middle,it sags from its original position,making an angle $\theta = \frac{1}{100} \text{ radian}$ with the horizontal at the points of support. The value of $A$ is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2$. (Given: $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

The units of Young's modulus of elasticity are

The cross-sectional area of each wire is $10^{-4} \, m^2$. What is the displacement of point $B$?

Which of the following curves represents the correct distribution of elongation $(y)$ along a heavy rod under its own weight? ($L$ = length of rod, $x$ = distance of a point from the lower end).
