Young's modulus of the material of a wire of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is $Y$. If the length of the wire is doubled and the cross-sectional area is halved,then the Young's modulus will be:

  • A
    $Y/4$
  • B
    $4Y$
  • C
    $Y$
  • D
    $2Y$

$A$ metal rod of cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-6} \,m^{2}$ is suspended vertically from one end and has a length of $0.4 \,m$ at $100^{\circ} C$. The rod is cooled to $0^{\circ} C$, but prevented from contracting by attaching a mass '$m$' at the lower end. Find the value of '$m$'. (Given: $Y = 10^{11} \,N/m^{2}$, coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5} /K$, $g = 10 \,m/s^{2}$) (in $\,kg$)

$A$ 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 $N$.

$A$ mild steel wire of length $1.0 \; m$ and cross-sectional area $0.50 \times 10^{-2} \; cm^{2}$ is stretched,well within its elastic limit,horizontally between two pillars. $A$ mass of $100 \; g$ is suspended from the mid-point of the wire. Calculate the depression at the midpoint.
