An Indian rubber cord $L$ metre long and area of cross-section $A$ $m^2$ is suspended vertically. The density of rubber is $D$ $kg/m^3$ and Young's modulus of rubber is $E$ $N/m^2$. If the wire extends by $l$ metre under its own weight,then the extension $l$ is:

  • A
    $L^2Dg/E$
  • B
    $L^2Dg/2E$
  • C
    $L^2Dg/4E$
  • D
    $L$

$A$ force is applied to a steel wire '$A$',rigidly clamped at one end. As a result,the elongation in the wire is $0.2\,mm$. If the same force is applied to another steel wire '$B$' of double the length and a diameter $2.4$ times that of the wire '$A$',the elongation in the wire '$B$' will be $............\times 10^{-2}\,mm$ (wires having uniform circular cross sections).

In Young's experiment,if the length of the wire and the radius are both doubled,then the value of $Y$ will become:

Why are springs made of steel instead of copper?

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $F$,its length increases by $5\,cm$. Another wire of the same material of length $4L$ and radius $4r$ is pulled by a force $4F$ under the same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is $....cm$.

If Young's modulus for a material is zero,then the state of material should be
