Two wires of the same material have lengths in the ratio $1:2$ and diameters in the ratio $2:1$. If they are stretched by forces $F_A$ and $F_B$ respectively to produce the same extension,then the ratio $\frac{F_A}{F_B}$ is:

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $2:1$
  • D
    $8:1$

$A$ rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $L$ has a weight $W$. It is suspended vertically from a fixed support. If Young's modulus for the rod is $Y$,then the elongation produced in the rod due to its own weight is:

$A$ wire extends by $1 \ mm$ when a force is applied. If double the force is applied to another wire of the same material and length but half the radius of the cross-section,what will be the elongation of the wire in $mm$?

$A$ $500 \,g$ ball is attached to one end of an aluminum wire of area of cross-section $0.5 \,mm^2$ and an unstretched length of $1.4 \,m$. The other end of the wire is fixed to the top of a vertical pole. The ball rotates about the pole in a horizontal plane such that the angle between the wire and the horizontal is $30^{\circ}$. The increase in the length of the wire is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of aluminum $= 0.7 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

Two uniform rods $AB$ and $BC$ have Young's moduli $1.2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$ and $1.5 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $AB$ is $1.5 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$ and both have equal area of cross-section,then the coefficient of linear expansion of $BC$,for which there is no shift of the junction at all temperatures,is ............. $\times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$.
