Two wires $A$ and $B$ are made of the same material. Their diameters are in the ratio of $1: 2$ and their lengths are in the ratio of $1: 3$. If they are stretched by the same force,then the increase in their lengths will be in the ratio of:

  • A
    $3: 4$
  • B
    $2: 3$
  • C
    $3: 2$
  • D
    $4: 3$

$A$ rigid bar of mass $15 \, kg$ is supported symmetrically by three wires,each $2 \, m$ long. The wires at each end are made of copper,and the middle one is made of steel. The Young's modulus of elasticity for copper and steel are $110 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$ and $190 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$ respectively. If each wire is to have the same tension,the ratio of their diameters (diameter of copper wire to diameter of steel wire) will be ............

The interatomic distance for a metal is $3 \times 10^{-10} \ m$. If the interatomic force constant is $3.6 \times 10^{-9} \ N/\mathring{A}$,then the Young's modulus in $N/m^2$ will be:
