$A$ wire elongates by $l \ mm$ when a load $W$ is hanged from it. If the wire goes over a pulley and two weights $W$ each are hung at the two ends,the elongation of the wire will be (in $mm$)

$A$ uniform steel rod of mass $1.8 \,kg$ and length $0.8 \,m$ is hung from a nail with the help of two steel wires,each of area of cross-section $0.01 \,mm^2$ and unstretched length $0.5 \,m$,as shown in the figure. The centre of mass of the rod lies vertically below the nail. The increase in the distance between the centre of mass of the rod and the nail due to stretching of the wires as the rod hangs is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

When a rod is heated but prevented from expanding,the stress developed is independent of

$A$ brass wire of length $2 \ m$ and radius $1 \ mm$ at $27 ^\circ C$ is held taut between two rigid supports. Initially, it was cooled to a temperature of $-43 ^\circ C$, creating a tension $T$ in the wire. The temperature to which the wire has to be cooled in order to increase the tension in it to $1.4 \ T$ is . . . . . . $^\circ C$.

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire of length exactly $1\;m$,the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\;mm$ when a load of $1\;kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\;mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\;N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is (Take $g = 10\;m/s^2$)
