$A$ wire of length $0.5 \ m$ and area of cross-section $4 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$ at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to $0^{\circ} C$,but is prevented from contracting,by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible,then the value of the mass attached to the wire is (Young's modulus of material of the wire $= 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$; coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire $= 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)

$A$ thin rod having a length of $1\;m$ and area of cross-section $3 \times 10^{-6}\;m^2$ is suspended vertically from one end. The rod is cooled from $210^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$. After cooling,a mass $M$ is attached at the lower end of the rod such that the length of the rod again becomes $1\;m$. Young's modulus and coefficient of linear expansion of the rod are $2 \times 10^{11}\;Nm^{-2}$ and $2 \times 10^{-5}\;K^{-1}$,respectively. The value of $M$ is $.......kg$. (Take $g=10\;ms^{-2}$)
