In the $CGS$ system,the Young's modulus of a steel wire is $2 \times 10^{12} \text{ dyn/cm}^2$. To double the length of a wire of unit cross-sectional area,the force required is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^6 \text{ dynes}$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{12} \text{ dynes}$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{12} \text{ newtons}$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^8 \text{ dynes}$

$A$ steel wire of length $4.7\; m$ and cross-sectional area $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m^{2}$ stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length $3.5\; m$ and cross-sectional area of $4.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m^{2}$ under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young's modulus of steel to that of copper?

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 $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}C$).

Increase in length of a wire is $1 \, mm$ when suspended by a weight. If the same weight is suspended on a wire of double its length and double its radius,the increase in length will be ........ $mm$.

$A$ brass wire of length $2 \ m$ and radius $1 \ mm$ at $27 ^\circ C$ is held taut between two rigid supports. Initially, it was cooled to a temperature of $-43 ^\circ C$, creating a tension $T$ in the wire. The temperature to which the wire has to be cooled in order to increase the tension in it to $1.4 \ T$ is . . . . . . $^\circ C$.

The area of cross-section of the rope used to lift a load by a crane is $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$. The maximum lifting capacity of the crane is $10$ metric tons. To increase the lifting capacity of the crane to $25$ metric tons,the required area of cross-section of the rope should be $......... \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$ (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$).
