Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].

The units of Young's modulus of elasticity are

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 ............. $\times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$.

Two separate wires $A$ and $B$ are stretched by $2 \, mm$ and $4 \, mm$ respectively,when they are subjected to a force of $2 \, N$. Assume that both the wires are made up of the same material and the radius of wire $B$ is $4$ times that of the radius of wire $A$. The lengths of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $a : b$. Then $a / b$ can be expressed as $1 / x$ where $x$ is:

On applying a stress of $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$,the length of a perfectly elastic wire is doubled. Its Young's modulus will be:
