$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

Two wires of the same length and same cross-sectional area are suspended as shown in the figure. Their Young's moduli are $Y_1$ and $Y_2$. What is their equivalent Young's modulus?

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $3 \, mm^2$ is first stretched between two fixed points at a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$. Determine the tension in the wire when the temperature falls to $10^{\circ}C$. Given: Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$.

$A$ structural steel rod has a radius of $10\,mm$ and length of $1.0\,m.$ $A$ $100\,kN$ force stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of structural steel is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2.$ The percentage strain is about ....... $\%$

$A$ wire elongates by $l \ mm$ when a load $W$ is hanged from it. If the wire goes over a pulley and two weights $W$ each are hung at the two ends,the elongation of the wire will be (in $mm$)
