An object of mass $m$ is suspended at the end of a massless wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $Y$. If the mass is pulled down slightly,its frequency of oscillation along the vertical direction is:

  • A
    $f = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{YA}{mL}}$
  • B
    $f = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{YL}{mA}}$
  • C
    $f = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{mA}{YL}}$
  • D
    $f = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{mL}{YA}}$

Which is more elastic: rubber or steel?

Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \; kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30 \; cm$ and $60 \; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform,calculate the compressional strain of each column. (Take Young's modulus of mild steel $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$ and $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$)

There is some change in length when a $33000 \,N$ tensile force is applied on a steel rod of area of cross-section $10^{-3} \,m^2$. The change of temperature required to produce the same elongation, if the steel rod is heated, is (The modulus of elasticity is $3 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}C$). (in $^{\circ}C$)

$A$ 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 $N$)

Four wires of the same material are stretched by the same load. Which one of them will elongate the most if their dimensions are as follows?
