$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in length is $l$. If another wire of the same material but double the length and double the radius is stretched with a force $2F$,then the increase in length is:

  • A
    $\frac{l}{4}$
  • B
    $2l$
  • C
    $\frac{l}{2}$
  • D
    $l$

Two metal wires $A$ and $B$ have lengths $L$ and $3L$ respectively. The radii of the cross-sectional circular areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $R$ and $2R$, respectively. These wires are joined end-to-end along their axis. When one end of the combined system is fixed and the other end is pulled with a constant force $F$, the elongation in both wires is equal. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's moduli of wires $A$ and $B$, respectively, then the ratio $Y_B / Y_A$ is:

Two similar wires under the same load yield elongations of $0.1 \ mm$ and $0.05 \ mm$ respectively. If the area of cross-section of the first wire is $4 \ mm^2$,then the area of cross-section of the second wire is..... $mm^2$.

Young's moduli of two wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $7 : 4$. Wire $A$ is $2\, m$ long and has radius $R$. Wire $B$ is $1.5\, m$ long and has radius $2\, mm$. If the two wires stretch by the same length for a given load,then the value of $R$ is close to ......... $mm$.

To double the length of an iron wire having $0.5 \, cm^2$ area of cross-section,the required force will be $(Y = 10^{12} \, dyne/cm^2)$.

$A$ one metre steel wire of negligible mass and area of cross-section $0.01 \,cm^2$ is kept on a smooth horizontal table with one end fixed. $A$ ball of mass $1 \,kg$ is attached to the other end. The ball and the wire are rotating with an angular velocity of $\omega$. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \,mm$, then $\omega$ is (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$)
