Let $L$ be the length and $d$ be the diameter of the cross-section of a wire. Wires of the same material with different $L$ and $d$ are subjected to the same tension along the length of the wire. In which of the following cases will the extension of the wire be the maximum?

  • A
    $L = 200 \ cm, d = 0.5 \ mm$
  • B
    $L = 300 \ cm, d = 1.0 \ mm$
  • C
    $L = 50 \ cm, d = 0.05 \ mm$
  • D
    $L = 100 \ cm, d = 0.2 \ mm$

$A$ compressive force, $F$ is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is heated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by $\Delta T$. The net change in its length is zero. Let $l$ be the length of the rod, $A$ its area of cross-section, $Y$ its Young's modulus, and $\alpha$ its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, $F$ is equal to

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length, same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$, then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in its length is $l$. If another wire of same material but of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is stretched with a force of $2F$,the increase in its length will be
