$A$ steel wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is suspended from a rigid support. If $Y$ is the Young's modulus of the material of the wire and $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion,then the increase in tension when the temperature falls by $t^{\circ} C$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{YA}{\alpha t}$
  • B
    $YA \alpha t$
  • C
    $Y \alpha t$
  • D
    $\frac{L \alpha t}{Y}$

The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y \, N/m^2$. What will be the Young's modulus of a wire made of the same material with length $L/2$ and radius $r/2$?

$A$ uniform cylindrical rod of length $L$ and radius $r$ is made from a material whose Young's modulus of elasticity equals $Y$. When this rod is heated by temperature $T$ and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force $F$,its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion of the material of the rod is (nearly) equal to:

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 ......... $mm$.
