When a load $W$ is hung from a wire of length $2L$,it just breaks. Now this wire is completely melted and a new wire of length $L$ is formed. If the load $W$ is hung from this new wire,what happens?

  • A
    It will definitely break
  • B
    It will definitely not break
  • C
    Cannot be predicted
  • D
    None of these

$A$ uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal,unextended length $L$. The radii at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire have values $R$ and $3R$,respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length of this wire would be:

What force is required to increase the length of a wire of diameter $4 \, mm$ and Young's modulus $9 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$ by $0.1\%$?

$A$ compressive force, $F$ is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is heated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by $\Delta T$. The net change in its length is zero. Let $l$ be the length of the rod, $A$ its area of cross-section, $Y$ its Young's modulus, and $\alpha$ its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, $F$ is equal to

The figure represents the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\text{ m}$, suspended from the ceiling of a room at one end with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-5}\text{ m}^2$, then the Young's modulus of the wire is . . . . . . $\text{N/m}^2$.

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus,steel wires of five different lengths $(1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5\,m)$ but of same cross-section $(2\,mm^2)$ were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope $(\text{extension/load})$ of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is $x \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,then the value of $x$ is
