$A$ wire of area of cross-section $10^{-6} \ m^2$ is increased in length by $0.1 \%$. The tension produced is $1000 \ N$. The Young's modulus of the wire is:

$A$ metal rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is heated through $T^{\circ} C$. What is the force required to prevent the expansion of the rod lengthwise? ($Y=$ Young's modulus of the material of the rod,$\alpha=$ coefficient of linear expansion of the rod.)

$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just slips over the wheel. As it cools down to the surrounding temperature,it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$,and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is:

$A$ copper wire and an aluminium wire have lengths in the ratio $5: 2$, diameters in the ratio $4: 3$ and forces applied in the ratio $4: 5$. Find the ratio of increase in length of the copper wire to that of the aluminium wire. (Given: $Y_{Cu} = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$, $Y_{Al} = 0.7 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$)

$A$ steel wire of length $3 \ m$ and a copper wire of length $2.2 \ m$ are connected end to end. When the combination is stretched by a force, the net elongation is $1.05 \ mm$. If the area of cross-section of each wire is $6 \ mm^2$, then the load applied is (Young's modulus of steel and copper are respectively $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $N$)
