One end of a uniform wire of length $L$ and of weight $W$ is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight $W_1$ is suspended from its lower end. If $A$ is the area of cross-section of the wire,the stress in the wire at a height $3L/4$ from its lower end is

  • A
    $\frac{W + W_1}{A}$
  • B
    $\frac{4W + W_1}{3A}$
  • C
    $\frac{3W + W_1}{4A}$
  • D
    $\frac{\frac{3}{4}W + W_1}{A}$

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