When a weight of $10 \,kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3 \,m$ and diameter $0.4 \,mm$, its length increases by $2.4 \,cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, then the extension in its length will be (in $\,cm$)

The density of a rubber cord is $d$. $A$ thick rubber cord of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ undergoes elongation under its own weight when suspended vertically. This elongation is proportional to:

$A$ 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 radius are joined end-to-end and loaded. The Young's moduli of the materials of the two wires are $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$. If the combination behaves as a single wire,then its equivalent Young's modulus is:

Two wires of equal lengths are made of the same material. Wire $A$ has a diameter that is twice as that of wire $B$. If identical weights are suspended from the ends of these wires,the increase in length is
