$A$ thin $1 \, m$ long rod has a radius of $5 \, mm$. $A$ force of $50 \, \pi \, kN$ is applied at one end to determine its Young's modulus. Assume that the force is exactly known. If the least count in the measurement of all lengths is $0.01 \, mm$,which of the following statements is false?

  • A
    The maximum value of $Y$ that can be determined is $10^{14} \, N/m^2$.
  • B
    $\frac{\Delta Y}{Y}$ gets minimum contribution from the uncertainty in the length.
  • C
    $\frac{\Delta Y}{Y}$ gets its maximum contribution from the uncertainty in strain.
  • D
    The figure of merit is the largest for the length of the rod.

$A$ metal string $A$ is suspended from a rigid support and its free end is attached to a block of mass $M$. $A$ second block having mass $2M$ is suspended at the bottom of the first block using a string $B$. The area of cross-sections of strings $A$ and $B$ are the same. The ratio of lengths of strings $A$ to $B$ is $2$ and the ratio of their Young's moduli $(Y_A/Y_B)$ is $0.5$. The ratio of elongations in $A$ to $B$ is . . . . . . .

Two metal wires $A$ and $B$ have lengths $L$ and $3L$ respectively. The radii of the cross-sectional circular areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $R$ and $2R$, respectively. These wires are joined end-to-end along their axis. When one end of the combined system is fixed and the other end is pulled with a constant force $F$, the elongation in both wires is equal. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's moduli of wires $A$ and $B$, respectively, then the ratio $Y_B / Y_A$ is:

Which one is more elastic,steel or plastic? Why?

Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are $0.2 \%$ and $0.002 \%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Calculate the longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire. (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$)

$A$ steel rod of diameter $1\,cm$ is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25\,^{\circ}C$ so that it cannot contract on cooling. The tension in the rod at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is approximately ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^{\circ}C, Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$
