$A$ copper wire of length $2.2 \; m$ and a steel wire of length $1.6 \; m$,both of diameter $3.0 \; mm$,are connected end to end. When stretched by a load,the net elongation is found to be $0.70 \; mm$. Obtain the load applied in $N$.

In which case is there maximum extension in the wire,if the same force is applied to each wire?

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped at one end. If its other end is pulled by a force $F$,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force both are reduced to half of their original values keeping original length constant,the increase in length will become.

The Young's modulus of a wire is $Y$. If the energy per unit volume is $E$,then the strain will be

In a tensile test on a metal bar of diameter $0.015 \ m$ and length $0.2 \ m$, the relation between the load and elongation within the proportional limit is found to be $F = 97.2 \times 10^6 (\Delta L)$, where $F$ is the load in $N$ and $\Delta L$ is the elongation in $m$. The Young's modulus of the material in $GPa$ is:
