Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of $200 \, N$ on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $1 \times 10^{11} \, N \, m^{-2}$. The original length of the wire is $2 \, m$ and the area of cross-section is $2 \, cm^2$. The wire will extend in length by $...... \, \mu m$.

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $50 \ mm$ and a length of $2 \ m$. It is stretched along its length with a force of $400 \ kN$. This causes an elongation of $0.5 \ mm$. Find the (approximate) Young's modulus of steel from this information.

$A$ metal wire with circular cross-section and length $1 \,m$ is pulled with a tensile force of $1000 \,N$ on each side. For the wire to be stretched not more than $0.25 \,cm$, the minimum diameter of the wire required is (Young's modulus of the metal $= 10^{11} \,Pa$, take $\sqrt{\pi} = 1.77$). (in $\,mm$)

$A$ wire is stretched by $0.01 \ m$ by a certain force $F$. Another wire of the same material whose diameter and length are double that of the original wire is stretched by the same force. Then its elongation will be (in $m$)
