What is the Young's modulus and bulk modulus for a perfect rigid body?

$A$ steel wire is $1 \,m$ long and $1 \,mm^2$ in area of cross-section. If it takes $200 \,N$ to stretch this wire by $1 \,mm$,how much force will be required to stretch a wire of the same material as well as diameter from its normal length of $10 \,m$ to a length of $1002 \,cm$?

$A$ rigid bar of mass $15\; kg$ is supported symmetrically by three wires each $2.0\; m$ long. Those at each end are of copper and the middle one is of iron. Determine the ratio of their diameters if each is to have the same tension.

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length, same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$, then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is

Stress required in a wire to produce $0.1\%$ strain is $4 \times 10^8 \, N/m^2$. Its Young's modulus is $Y_1$. If stress required in another wire to produce $0.3\%$ strain is $6 \times 10^8 \, N/m^2$,and its Young's modulus is $Y_2$,which relation is correct?
