$A$ force of $200\, N$ is applied at one end of a wire of length $2\, m$ and having area of cross-section $10^{-2}\, cm^2$. The other end of the wire is rigidly fixed. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the wire is $\alpha = 8 \times 10^{-6}\, ^\circ C^{-1}$,Young's modulus is $Y = 2.2 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$,and its temperature is increased by $5\, ^\circ C$,then the increase in the tension of the wire will be ........ $N$.

The cross-sectional area of each wire is $10^{-4} \, m^2$. What is the displacement of point $B$?

An Indian rubber cord $L$ metre long and area of cross-section $A$ $m^2$ is suspended vertically. The density of rubber is $D$ $kg/m^3$ and Young's modulus of rubber is $E$ $N/m^2$. If the wire extends by $l$ metre under its own weight,then the extension $l$ is:

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].

There is some change in length when a $33000 \,N$ tensile force is applied on a steel rod of area of cross-section $10^{-3} \,m^2$. The change of temperature required to produce the same elongation, if the steel rod is heated, is (The modulus of elasticity is $3 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}C$).
