The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$,calculate the Young's modulus of the material of the wire.

  • A
    $2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-11} \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{-12} \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-13} \, N/m^2$

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section,one of steel and another of brass,are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level,then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of

On increasing the length by $0.5\, mm$ in a steel wire of length $2\, m$ and area of cross-section $2\, mm^2$,the force required is ($Y$ for steel $= 2.2 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$).

$A$ structural steel rod has a radius of $10\,mm$ and length of $1.0\,m.$ $A$ $100\,kN$ force stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of structural steel is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2.$ The percentage strain is about ....... $\%$

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
