$A$ 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
    $\frac{W L}{Y A}$
  • B
    $\frac{W L}{2 Y A}$
  • C
    $\frac{W L}{4 Y A}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 W L}{4 Y A}$

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $10 \,mm$ and a length of $1.0 \,m$. $A$ force stretches it along its length and produces a strain of $0.32 \%$. The Young's modulus of the steel is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$. What is the magnitude of the force stretching the rod in $kN$?

$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:
